The girls are deeply saddened, and upon...

David advocated for addiction counseling to become a licensed profession. His letters to government helped change laws in CT. Thanks again!

David was one of my teachers. I have shared his wisdom with my own students many times over. He will be missed.

Dear Barbara,

I am so sorry for your loss. My husband and I are honored and feel privilaged to have been Dr. Powell's students.
