Lemonade for Life

You are invited to participate in a Lemonade for Life training.

The Lemonade for Life program helps individuals understand how early life experiences may have long-lasting effects on how they interact in relationships. The training conveys that individuals cannot rewrite the beginning of their story, but they can change how it ends.
