  • We are fortunate to have Tarsha Wiggins as our April presenter. Tarsha Wiggins is a Milwaukee based licensed clinical social worker and has more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. She is a certified alcohol and drug counselor and is the founder of Speak Wellness Behavioral Health Consulting. Tarsha created a form of therapy she coined as TRAP Therapy. The group sessions she leads use energy, music, and evidence-based practices to educate and empower individuals to engage in their emotional wellness.
  • We are also looking forward to hearing presentations from Mike Lappen, Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Services Division Administrator and Dr. Kenneth Cole, Licensed Psychologist, who will be updating us on outpatient and crisis services offered by Milwaukee County.
