I have been in a TLCS Program before and need help again. Can I receive assistance?
Yes.We encourage you to contact us if we can be of any help.

How much does it cost me to receive help?
The fees for TLCS’ Programs are dependent upon your ability to pay. If you have no financial resources you are still eligible to receive services.

I would like to work for TLCS but I have been a client in the mental health system. Would TLCS still hire me?
TLCS values the diversity of backgrounds of individuals seeking employment. Several individuals that have received services from TLCS currently work here.

If I participate in a TLCS Program, is my information kept confidential?

I have heard good things about the TLCS system and would like to make a financial contribution. Who should I talk with?
