Mr. Jim Harlow, M.A., LPC

Profile:                         I chose to adopt 5 “special needs” children from 1978-1986 out of the child welfare system.  Parenting these children has been a major focus of my adult life.  Because of the influence of their chronic abuse, I have a long history of interfacing with the court system, the mental health system, the educational system, and the criminal justice system, advocating for services.  This allows me to bring a unique perspective to support parents and foster/adoptive organizations so that they can more consistently and positively address the needs of traumatized children and their families.
