What is the Traumatic Loss Coalition of Mercer County?
The Traumatic Loss Coalition (TLC) of Mercer County is a voluntary group of professionals, community members and involved residents who provide a coordinated response to traumatic loss events that affect youth. The coalition was founded in 1995 as a result of a series of tragic losses, including three suicide clusters within eighteen months that occurred among teenagers in Mercer County. The Coalition includes representatives from schools, mental health agencies, clergy, law enforcement, elected officials, community leaders and youth-serving organizations.
