“Behind the Scenes” Support:

We must also sincerely thank group leaders and “follow up” callers for their checking in with so many members of our TCFV community, both metropolitan and regional, during this unprecedented time. We must also thank the follow-up callers for their ongoing work checking in on people who are still quite new to TCFV. We are seeing wonderful support during this most unsettled of times.
