The Giving Tree Plants Roots at MNLCT

The ‘MNLCT Giving Tree’ was made to inspire people to donate as a way to bring meaning into both the lives of the giver and the receiver.

"Before MNLCT, I felt lost. I couldn’t find a service that could help me. But now emotional knowledge has given me a freedom that I didn’t have before. My therapist helped me and gave me real advice on how to set my boundaries.”
