We Are Resilient TOGETHER
We are a healing ministry of the church offering health, hope, and wholeness by serving individuals, families, congregations, and our community. we have offered Christian pastoral counseling, both individually and to members of Association Congregations through our Membership Assistance Program. These sessions have been virtual since the onset of COVID and they have been fully compliant with HIPPA through the use of a telehealth platform. We also have offered educational information through our monthly publications, seminars for churches, schools, or other groups on mental health topics; on-site grief counseling and trauma de-briefings for schools and churches; and counselor-in-residence programs for schools or assemblies.
We Are Hopeful TOGETHER
We have weathered the effects of COVID successfully and adapted to the new needs of clients and counselors by instituting telehealth platforms for virtual sessions. We hope to be able to resume in-person counseling sessions and other offerings as people are comfortable with resuming activities on that basis.
