Before completing a request form for support through Triad’s Life Support Counseling Ministry, please read the following information…
What issues we’re best able to help with…
The ministry is a small counseling and coaching/mentoring ministry that provides short-term, Bible-based support for people who are struggling with typical life challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, grief/loss, communication, relationships, self-worth, stress-management, etc.). The ministry is not designed to provide mental health diagnoses, long-term mental health treatment, or court-related assessment services. It also is not staffed or designed to handle emergency support needs.
We often have a waiting list…
Because we tend to have a waiting list, if you have a life-threatening or other emergency need, please either consult with your medical doctor, call 911, or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. If your need is not necessarily an emergency, you may still either want to consult with your medical doctor or insurance company for referral ideas so that you can move ahead with receiving counseling or support.
Ours is a short-term support ministry…
Triad’s Life Support Counseling Ministry runs on a short-term basis. The first meeting is an assessment meeting to better determine if and how the ministry may be able to assist. If the ministry is a good match to the person’s unique needs, then up to 2 additional meetings may be possible for a total of 3 meetings overall. After the 1-3 sessions, our goal is to offer support by linking you with a ministry within our church, a mentor within our church, or professional counseling outside TBC. At any time while working together, a person (the counselee) and/or a Life Support Ministry team member (the counselor) can choose to terminate the counseling or coaching/mentoring relationship.
We help church members and non-members at no cost…
Services received through the Life Support Counseling Ministry are covered through the tithes and offerings given through Triad Baptist Church. This means that you cannot pay for the services received or purchase additional sessions. If, however, you are able and desire to do so, you may privately make a donation to Triad Baptist Church on behalf of the counseling ministry. Your gift will be anonymously credited to the ministry.
How to submit a request for counseling/support…
You can complete our online request form that, once completed, will come to Pastor Jason, who will review your information and make contact within a few days. He typically will either, 1) attempt to schedule based on the availability you’ve listed in your request form; 2) provide you with referral suggestions if the waiting list is longer than usual or if she believes your unique needs are outside the scope of the Life Support Counseling Ministry.
You can also request support by calling 336-996-7573 (ext. 7) and leaving a confidential voice mail with your name, phone number, and brief description of your need for assistance. This is a good option for people who do not have internet access.
Again, it may take as much as a few days to respond to your request whether by internet or voicemail. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
