SCM
offers faith-based Christian Pastoral Counseling in every category
of ministry and outreach
in which we serve God. Online counseling is a free service available
from SCM through our open forum chat room for group 'community
sharing' on regularly scheduled evenings. Topics of the month
like "Healing
from Clergy Abuse" are posted on the Home Page to help guide
discussions. Our chat room is open every Tuesday
night from 6:00 - 8:00PM PST to accommodate the East Coast /
Mideast members & Thursday
evening from 7:00 - 9:00PM PST for our West Coast / Midwest members.
To join,
pre-registration
is required
by contacting Pastor Mike using
the email form link below to obtain a login name and password,
and enough information to help our staff help you.

Personal
and confidential counseling is made available through the Help
Desk connection below for a private chat room
appointment online, personal contact by phone, counseling by
email, or for office visits by appointment only. All
topics covered by SCM's ministries are open
for discussion
and counseling. Please put in the message block below the
area of counseling needed, to help our staff prioritize our
online time. Counseling by email is also available through Counseling.
We offer
counseling-at-large through books published by Shepherds
Care Publishing, like the Shattered
People series,
and are presented in detail on our SC Publishing page. They are
shared to help instruct
two audiences in God's healing love. The first is for people
broken by abuse and
separated
from
their personal relationship with God. The other
audience is any professionals who treat them: counselors, pastors,
priests, and psychologists; as well as lay-people wishing to assist
in the recovery of their loved ones. Any relationship shattered
by abuse, particularly clergy abuse, cannot fully heal without
a basic understanding of these truths about God's love, and the
encouragement from people
open to be used
by God...
in whatever manner or method God chooses.
