Devault of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Dyersburg State Community College said, “We do professional corporate leadership training, any kind of training that industry or business might need, and we offer individual training as well. We wear a lot of hats.”The SBDC can train employees on something as simple as Excel or in management leadership skills. Four of the 14 centers across the state are located in West Tennessee: at Dyersburg State, at the Reed Center in Martin, at Jackson State Community College in Jackson and at one center in Memphis.Devault said one of the main goals is to prepare the business owner for what lies ahead.“What we do most is help businesses in the startup phase walk through the process of getting a business off the ground. There are many decisions to be made. We are there to help get you ready, put you in contact with lenders, construct a business plan and that sort of thing when the time comes. We don’t want anyone to start that process unprepared.”In his 10 years at Dyersburg State with the SBDC, Devault said Crockett has been one of the leading counties, “my go-to county ever since I’ve been on the job.”Contact information for Darrin M. Devault at the Small Business Development Center at Dyersburg State Community College is ddevault@dscc.edu or 731-286-3265 or 901-569-6353.Christian Hayes, LCSW; office manager Lynne Munk; and Vanity Wardlow, PMHNC, of Medical Clinic of Alamo discussed the expansion of mental health services at the clinic. Wardlow said that by adding services in Crockett County, patients don’t have to go to Memphis, Nashville or Jackson.She is concerned that a stigma remains for those who suffer from mental health issues.“I like to say my goal in this community is to provide personalized, compassionate care. We do mental health evaluations. We help parents when they deal with ADHD and autism, and various issues. My biggest goal is to open up awareness about mental health services in this community,” Wardlow said.</div></body>
