Advocate for the Creative Child
Nurturing Underserved Children and Families Through Creativity and Connection.
Founded in Tragedy. Built by Generosity.
Advocate for the Creative Child was founded by Dr. Stacy Jagger in the wake of the devastating violence that unfolded at The Covenant School in March of 2023. As a childhood trauma survivor, Founder of Music City Family Therapy, author of The 30 Day Blackout, and vocal advocate for children, Stacy - often known to her clients as Dr. Sassy - is no stranger to childhood trauma and its impact.
“As a native Nashvillian, I survived a difficult childhood by living in my imagination. That creativity crossed over in my adult life when I needed it. It is the mission of my life to help heal the disconnection that all forms of trauma create and to help children and families heal through creativity and wonder.”
- Stacy Jagger
Advocate for the Creative Child offers scholarships and underwrites trauma informed services & counseling for children that would otherwise never be able to afford it. Operating out of a 10 acre property and small farmhouse in Columbia, TN, we also serve the greater Nashville area through:
Playhouses that host groups, retreats, and screen free events promoting healing through wonder, creativity, & connection.
Creative Community Groups where children and adults can gather to connect, learn, and support each other in a screen free/trauma informed environment.
Our vision includes expansion to our second Creative Playhouse in Crieve Hall, TN. It is our plan to offer after school programs, artistic community groups, and other connection based services to benefit children and families who could never afford it on their own.
