TLC Responds
TLC is the lynchpin to strengthening mental health, physical health and improving long-term health outcomes. Direct access to services which bolster all areas of health is essential to stronger, more stable families. Community Events for gathering, teen mentorship and support, and after-school programs are some more of the many things TLC will offer. Access to Mental Health Programming & Group Support (such as AA ~ NA ~ Al-ANON) meetings just steps away from home, learning the complexities when understanding and accessing insurance, pre-natal or parenting education, smoking cessation, and more, are the kinds of resources which promotes confidence and independence.
