The Stephens Center

The Stephens Center is at 616 N Church St in Livingston. The Hip Cookeville listing says it works in 10 Upper Cumberland counties to prevent child abuse and neglect, using home visits, and that it opened in 1988. The Overton County News reported that the center is a licensed child abuse and neglect prevention agency. stephenscenter.org returned an error on October 12, 2026, so the program details here are from that newspaper article, updated July 16, 2026.
