Resources for Continued Healing & Support

​

​

Below are some recommended next steps and helpful resources.

​

1. Connect With a Local Church

Your local church can be one of the best places to begin when seeking Christ-centered support.

Try asking for:

• Referrals for Christian counselors or licensed therapists

• Recommendations for pastoral counseling

• Information about support groups or healing ministries

• Prayer ministry teams or inner healing ministries

If you’re unsure where to start, simply contact the church office and say:

“I’m looking for Christian counseling resources. Do you have any recommendations?”

Most churches are happy to help.
