Department of Counseling

About Us: 
The NEAD’s Department of Counseling was created for, and is dedicated to, addressing the mental health concerns of our Malankara Orthodox community. We aim to promote, and provide, resources and guidance to all our faithful who seek support in navigating their mental health on an individual and communal level. The department is committed to providing assistance with online resources, in-person conferences, crisis interventions, counseling referrals, and more. We hope to be a safe space for those struggling and/or motivated to learn more about their mental health so they can grow and thrive.
 
Missions Goals:
We strive to:
  • Break the stigma and barriers surrounding mental health exploration and discussion in our community.
  • Bring to light the challenges we have faced through the process of Christ-centered healing.
  • Provide support, empathy, and encouragement to one another as we journey towards our ultimate goal of theosis.
