Dr. Gloria Horsley has worked in the field of family therapy for 22 years, holding graduate degrees from the University of Rochester, Syracuse, Greenwich, and Holos Universities. Her early research involved Hospice and AIDS therapy. She has served on the faculty of the University of Rochester School of Nursing and has trained and practiced with leaders in the field of family therapy. Author of several books, Dr. Horsley has appeared on a number of radio and television shows including “The Today Show.”  Dr. Horsley’s 17-year-old son, Scott, died in a one-car accident in 1983 prompting her relationship with The Compassionate Friends, which started out with the need for healing and has evolved into a commitment to help those families that have gone through the same tragic experience. She has been chairperson of Professionals Day at the past two TCF national conferences, and holds the same position for the upcoming national conference in Dearborn, Michigan.

Following the broadcasts, these informative hour long shows are available for your review through TCF’s national website, which has them available as streaming audio.  To listen to the shows, please select from the list below.
