Getting to Know You

Before the first in-home visit with your TMG IRIS Consultant, take a few minutes to think about your answers to these questions. The information you share will help your IRIS Consultant get to know you better, so they can partner with you to create an IRIS plan that will help you address your needs and reach your goals.
