Affordable Counseling for Individuals, Couples, Families, & Groups

With curiosity, eighteen years ago I joined the first training group for Lay Counselors in this wonderful organization. My skills had leaned towards listening rather than speaking and I felt guided to learn to listen well. Then the question was, where could God use this ability? My focus and improvement over the years coincided with the timing of Anew Day opening. After training I began to serve here. Through that experience I saw how much I didn’t know.

The theme of this summer newsletter, Spreading Light and Warmth, seems so appropriate as the team here at Anew Day endeavors to do just that. Articles in this newsletter come to us from one of our first Lay Counselors, two Group Facilitators, and one of our Professional Therapists. These are some of the many voices of Anew Day, and their stories show how we’re responding to today’s mental health care crisis - not with fear, but with hope and action.

Across the country, millions are seeking mental health care, but an alarming shortage of providers is making it harder than ever to meet this growing need.
