Mid-America MHTTC Newsletter

FEBRUARY 2024

Welcome, February!

It's been a cold and snowy start to 2024 here in the Midwest. We hope that wherever you are, you have been warm, safe, happy and healthy.

As for us, we're leaning into the wintertime vibes. Let the coziness continue this February — we recommend snuggling up on the couch with one of our continuing education courses, or taking a snowy afternoon as a sign to stay inside and dive into our ARC curriculum.

All the best,

The Mid-America MHTTC Team
