Clergy Support

Sometimes it is easier to talk with a member of clergy or a fellow community member, than it is to access formal counseling. Although formal counseling is always available, outside support can be a great benefit depending on what your needs and comfort level are. Below is a list of individuals in our community that leaders of local organizations have identified as good listeners who are willing to support their fellow community member. It is strictly non- proselytizing in nature and meant to be supportive of individuals who are dealing with a unique stress.
