| Dear ,
You might not believe that here in the middle of Wisconsin under (another) seven inches of snow we are sprouting our spring. But it's true!
Our staff has recently had two enlightening in-services from local experts in kindred professions. Thank you to Dr. Dawn Ley, naturopath of Full Circle Natural Medicine and David Wandel, private business consultant and President of Wandel & Co. focusing on organizational and fund development for non-profits. Both provided inspiration to our winter weary selves.
Our group sessions that occur on-going throughout the year start new cycles this month and in April, and we are forming two new therapy groups for young children with developmental issues. Currently our therapists are bustling as they prepare for outreach presentations locally and out of state.
Read on about our updates and spring program offerings!
