Included on the list are priests, individuals who work in ministry, parishioners with lived experience, and those trained in inner healing prayer ministry. Contact [email protected] if interested in learning more or getting connected.
The Diocese does not guarantee specific outcomes from any mental health support or services provided through this referral network.
