Counseling Resources
We hope these resources provide a way to care for your people to the best of your ability.
Counseling: Annual Guide 2026
This is a book that references any and every type of situation you may encounter with someone you are leading. Remember, we are not licensed counselors or therapists, but a middle person in connecting our people to the professional care they really need. Use this guide as a starting point.
