Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry

Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry's goals include:

1. Support and empower children, teens, and adults who are struggling with everyday mental health issues/problems.

2. Support and strengthen couples and families who are struggling with challenging circumstances and experiences, such as a loss of a loved one, relationship problems, and trauma.

3. Create and sustain safe and conducive spaces for populations in need to meet, connect, learn, and build trusting support networks with peers facing similar challenges.

4. Support and empower students who are struggling in grades K-12 to become more confident and independent learners.

5. Support and empower parents to use effective strategies and skills in order to foster stronger and healthier youth.

6. Ensure all community members have access to needed mental health and educational programs and services regardless of financial resources.

Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry accomplishes these goals by:

1. Increasing community awareness of the organization and the availability of mental health and educational programs and services locally through outreach to schools, churches, social media networks, and neighborhoods/communities.

2. Strengthening core programs and services by adding new specialities and components (e.g., play therapy counseling for young children).

3. Creating new therapeutic support groups (e.g., group for parents of children with ADHD) and expanding existing support groups (e.g., group for single mothers and their children) based on local needs and demands for programs and services.

4. Providing community educational presentations and workshops addressing parenting and mental health issues and strategies.

5. Targeting program/service expansions at local communities that are under-resourced and/or isolated from existing offerings by gaps in transportation and affordability.

6. Growing sliding-scale programs for clients who are uninsured, under-insured, or facing significant financial hardships through grants, special events, and other charitable contributions.
