What people are saying

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center”]

  • TLC helped me learn how to help others.

    - Alex, 14

  • The TLC program is the first of its kind that I know of in the entire nation that addresses issues of post-treatment rehabilitation back to a normal life, to a life of self-esteem where the patient is able to put their pediatric cancer diagnosis behind them and focus on the future and on their ability to be happy. For the patients who’ve been through it, the TLC program has been life-altering.

    - Leonard Sender, MD - Medical Director of the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's Hospital

  • I teach moral development at UCI. TLC actually lives it and delivers it. They are the rubber that meets the road. And we know with teenagers, that road can get bumpy. Wonderful to have a program and staff that commits to making their ride smoother and meaningful.

    - Jeff Johnston, Professor - UC Irvine School of Education

  • My favorite part was [writing] in the journal. I learned [techniques] and how to feel great about myself as well as how to manage my emotions. I’ll always remember our facilitator, Eric, and this journal in Health class.

    - Zariel, 15 - Savanna High School

  • I would recommend the TLC program to other teens because it’s fun, you meet different people out of your element and it’s a good experience.

    - Viviana, 18

  • TLC helped me in unimaginable ways. The program helped me elevate my goals and aims which had slowly weakened because of previous health issues. Tilly and her team also made me realize that my physical limits can never stop me from living an ideal limitless life.

    - Nawal, 13

  • TLC brought many positive activities like stretching, meditation, stress management, and how to regulate emotions, as well as why I feel different emotions. I learned affirmations and how to be present in the moment. Thank you for teaching me forgiveness and what it means. I also learned to connect with peers around me that I originally could not resonate with. TLC brought insight into how to deal with bullies and what not to do. I couldn’t be any more grateful. THANK YOU TLC!

    - Cadet Ramirez, 16 - Sunburst Youth Academy

  • I really love the dedication to the program because you guys keep pushing to stop teen suicide and help teen mental health.

    - Westminster High School

  • Adolescence is a critical period of social, emotional, and behavioral growth. Decisions made during adolescence can change a teen’s life trajectory for better or for worse. By providing an engaging, positive youth development intervention at a time when it is greatly needed, TLC has the potential to have a life-long, meaningful impact on teens’ lives.

    - Dr. Kimberley Lakes - Associate Professor, Pediatrics, UC Irvine School of Medicine

  • The TLC high school curriculum aligns perfectly with our mission of fostering learning and enabling students to successfully achieve their educational, professional, and personal goals. TLC is good for Saddleback College, good all colleges and frankly, good for all of education.

    - Tod A. Burnett, Ed.D - Executive Vice Chancellor, Brandman University

  • I was born with spina bifida and have had multiple major surgeries and extended hospital stays related to my diagnosis. Recovery from each surgery had multiple setbacks, stress, and increased my anxiety and fear. TLC workshops helped me to believe in and speak up for myself. I learned that worry can't control me, and my feelings are valuable. My anxiety doesn’t torment and frighten me anymore, because I learned how to manage my challenging thoughts. My favorite workshop was I Am Continuing to Grow. I learned growing can be painful and hard sometimes, but in growing I am becoming a better me!

    - Sophia, 17

  • TLC is one of the best programs I know about for transforming young people's lives!

    - Mark Warschauer - Professor and Interim Dean, UC Irvine School of Education

  • This program has been such a huge relief. I have learned to manage my stress and anxiety through deep breathing strategies Chip taught us. I have begun meditating and, overall, taking my mental health more seriously because TLC has taught us about the importance of taking care of yourself. I have looked forward to Mondays because that is when I have TLC. I am going to miss our weekly Monday lessons, but I am ready to continue applying the strategies I learned into my daily life.

    - Stephanie, 17 - Century High School

  • I’ll never forget being part of TLC. Some mornings are more difficult and stepping into a room where you could fully process those emotions and still have that opportunity to learn was truly amazing. The activities allowed me to place any negative emotions into something positive- my personal favorite being the ones involving plants, as I’ve learned it helps me calm down. I experienced a lot within the program; it has taught me many things about myself and others. I will carry all that this program is in my heart with fondness.

    - Kelly, 17 - Century High School

  • TLC has helped me a lot throughout the year in many things. But most of all has helped me create new connections. TLC helped me reflect on how I can become a better person. It also helped me see myself as a better person. Using the time in Tilly’s Life Center to journal helped me be more calm throughout the day!

    - Victoria, 13 - TeWinkle Middle School

  • TLC helped me have a more positive outlook on post-treatment life. It also taught me the power of positive thinking and meditation.

    - Ralph, 21
