Today a few team members had the opportunity to participate in The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (TCSPP) site fair. This experience was full of enriching conversation that encompassed discussion on the state of mental health in our communities.

At LTS, we continue to look forward to being of support to our graduate students as they complete this next chapter in their respective programs.
