Helene conducted groups for fathers at a Protestant Church in West Hills, when I met her. This group was established for the pre-school when my youngest went (she now is 31 years old). She was my third daughter and this was the first meeting that I ever experienced only for fathers. Subsequently, our family sought therapy from Helene. My last professional contact was in a therapy group that Helene co-founded for adults. I contacted her several times on the phone afterward. In fact, I learned about her current health situation, when I called her in connection with a current issue that I have. When I talked to Helene, my experience was more like talking to a friend. I am so sad that she is so ill. I didn't talk to her recently before then and I feel as though something has been taken from me in my own older age. If she can understand, please salute her on my behalf. She helped so very much in my adult life. Cliff Shank (818) 266-7652.
