Counseling

Acworth UMC strongly suggests seeking personal counseling when life is difficult, through transitions, or simply for proper self-care.
Trained Stephen Ministers are available for compassionate, Christian care.
Mental health counseling is separate from Stephen Ministry care and they often go hand-in-hand.

Stephen Ministers provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. Caregivers are trained in all aspects of personal crisis and are committed in a non-judgmental and confidential journey towards health and happiness.

The relationship between a care receiver and a Stephen Minister is confidential.
Men are matched with men; women with women.
When a care receiver’s needs exceed what a Stephen Minister can provide, the Stephen Ministry team makes a referral to an appropriate mental health professional or other community resource.
