Dear Albert,
If you also contact Dirk Vandevelde EFTC secretary in Belgium, he will be able to give you names and addresses of Dutch / Flemish speaking therapeutic communities in Belgium and Holland.

Hope this helps,

I have tried to scroll back to find Gibbs Williams' email - without success. I am probably missing a trick somewhere and would love to hear Gibbs' thoughts on our venture.
Perhaps you have his email address?

Welcome to the list, Albert,
I am not sure if you're aware of this, but we welcomed the advent of your new
therapeutic community a few weeks ago on the Therapeutic Community Open Forum
email discussion list, [log in to unmask], with its associated web-site
http://www.tc-of.org.uk . One of our New York members, Gibbs Williams, thinking
you were a member of the list, sent a long email of welcome and welcoming
thoughts. If you joined that list I am sure he would send them again, or you
could stroll back through the archives. A number of UK therapeutic communities
are represented on the list.
You might also wish to get in touch with the Association of Therapeutic
Communities (ATC), at [log in to unmask] The web-site is in the
midst of radical reform, but the old one remains informative and is available
at http://www.therapeuticcommunities.org
all the best,
Craig
