One's Faith Can Carry Them Through a Crisis
The most vulnerable people are those suffering through abuse, depression, stress, anxiety, grief and more. These issues do not discriminate, and many are the same people who lost employment, food, transportation, childcare and hope. Caregivers are being stretched in extraordinary ways to meet the demands for counseling services. Continuing education is essential for the wellbeing of both those in need of support and those caregivers who provide it.
Our region will be stronger with professional interfaith counseling and education services available for support through the global pandemic. The healing process is wholistic and that requires one’s faith, family, and future to have hope, stability, and success. What was strong is now fragile and the care for mental health must continue. Since March, our staff has been working virtually in a short-term plan to meet immediate needs. As we move into the days ahead, PPI is poised to offer ongoing telehealth and eventual face-to-face services as viable. It is our hope that both forms of communication and contact will be possible based on the individual needs.
