Crisis Intervention:

Counseling:
Dedicated to serving the people of the Appalachian area by helping them to improve their lives by strengthening the family and the individual's emotional /psychological /spiritual well being. We believe that the family is the natural and basic unit of society as ordained by God, and that He intends for the family to be a safe, secure and peaceful environment in which people can grow and develop without exposure to violence, abuse or fear. We believe that through family life education, enrichment and counseling, we can make life better for children as well as adults, and strengthen the family unit.
