COVID-19 Support Group for Clergy and Counselors Access the Consent Form

In addition to first responders and medical professionals, clergy and mental health counselors have been working hard behind the scenes to provide spiritual and emotional support for many people suffering during the pandemic. Often the caregivers are not receiving care themselves, and become wounded through secondary or vicarious trauma. Self-care is important! Beginning May 10th, our counselors Cindy Renaudo, LPC and student counselor Dorothy Godines will offer a free confidential and private support group for clergy and mental health professionals on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, 3pm-4:30pm. Email or call the office to provide your contact information for the video Teleconference (no medical records will be kept). Please share this information. Here is a flyer.
