What is ELCN? Simply put, it is a community of counselors and counselor training organizations to encourage and learn from one another. I really enjoy the times we can get together at an annual convention, but that is only once a year. And it can be a bit pricey to travel. Why not communicate year-round and meet up live a little more often? Well, that's the goal!

I know we have Facebook and other social platforms, but sometimes the platform algorithms dictate what we can or can not "see' on our feed, and sometimes they just block you. I'm not a big fan of that.

It's true we all use social media since billions of others are on the platform. It's a great way to share information. That's perfectly fine. I just don't want to be under the control of a platform that might tell me what I can or can not post.

Our platform was built with privacy. There is no algorithm. It's just us. And if you are a Network 220 member or affiliated with a Network 220 member, we want you to join us! Just click the JOIN button and create your profile. An admin will review your "request to join" and then approve (often the same day or next day).

Let's build this community together!
