Dear All,

This month we are welcoming Carolyn Russ as our new Registrar. Carolyn is a native Tamworthian who claims to have had a “boring life”. Her five children might have something to say about that. Carolyn has been associated with Lifeline for some years.
We are looking forward to working with Carolyn and hoping you won’t be too hard on her as she adjusts to her new position

You will notice ACS Courses listed in this newsletter. These are courses which are offered to the general public. It is extremely useful to any counsellor to be familiar with the content of courses such as the Anger Management and Conflict Resolution courses.
