What TLC Members Have Said About the Weekly Focus

"I am a middle school counselor in Howell. I went through the school trauma class series when it was offered in Hartland years ago. I just want to thank you for your short, deeply meaningful emails about manifestations of trauma. I don't have time to read large things--but I always read yours because in two paragraphs I get new insight and great, useable ideas. Please don't stop!"

Kathleen Gut, School Counselor, Howell, Michigan
