Let’s Get Smarter – May Community Education Meeting

How do we get smarter about mental health? We ask the experts and those with lived experience in all aspects of the mental health and wellness field to come speak at our community education meetings so we can find peace of mind and have less stress when caring for our loved ones with a brain disorder. Better mental health outcomes for all is our ultimate goal.

We really do love getting smarter about mental health with you at our community education meetings! Our May 27, 2025 Community Education Meeting is at FACES from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Our speaker is Ben Tiefenback, Esq. of Commonwealth Community Trust. Our address is 11601 Lucks Ln, Midlothian, VA 23114. Hope to see you there!

Here is Ben’s bio: Ben Tiefenback, Esq., is Counsel and Director of Client Services at Commonwealth Community Trust, a non-profit pooled trust administrator that has served over 3,000 beneficiaries across the United States who are vulnerable or have a disability.

Prior to joining CCT, Mr. Tiefenback was a trust and estate attorney serving Hampton Roads, the Middle Peninsula, and the Northern Neck. His practice focused on estate planning and trust creation and administration, with an emphasis on special needs trust planning due to his personal experiences with special needs issues in his family.
