Hello All, Did you know that when you post something here, it shows up in a Google search? Is it possible to post a question that is not made public? I am asking because I posted a need for a therapist for a specific situation, I didn't mention any names or confidential information but I would have never posted somewhere I thought could be seen on Google. I thought it was only our members who had access to the post. Thank you!

Re: Paper Tigers free screening
I understand, Linda - I can't attend either! I do know that the Paper Tigers website has listings for showings around the country and/or there is the option of "renting" the DVD for your own viewing (kind of expensive for just one person - I think its around $200). Hopefully others who do local screenings will post it on ACEs Connection and you'll be able to attend:-)
