Mission Statement Transitional Life Care Consultant Firm’s mission is to facilitate client growth with transition through life events and life changes. TLC consultants strive to join with others to create the conditions under which all people with transitional needs will experience opportunities to develop and exercise competence; encouragement to make choices in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the transitional process; respect and dignity through the promotion of protection from abuse and neglect and isolation; opportunities for self-advocacy that empower each client to articulate his or her needs; and reduce the negative stress surrounding many life changes.
Summary of Firm and Services Transition from one situation to another can be stressful; it is a process of progress forward. The Holmes-Rahe Scale (1967) lists 43 life events and life changes that contribute to one’s stress level. Each member of this team has personal experience as well as education, which would benefit a consultant firm with a mission to assist people in some form of transition. Two of the team members have direct experience with transition from state Foster Care programs, three members have been small business owner/operators, and four members have direct educational experience fitting the human services need. The strengths of this team indicate strong organizational skills, leadership, and empathy. The qualities complement one another well for this type of consulting firm.
