I love autumn!  It is a season with new beginnings, programs, and opportunities.  I have always appreciated the start of a new school year.  My ministry season seems to follow a similar pattern.  Summer is a time where people seem to step out of their schedules and everything slows down, including therapy.  However, once school starts, schedules are fuller and the pressure is back on, I receive more phone calls for therapy and the ministry is full.   I love what I do.  I love that I have the privilege of walking with people in their healing.  I love it when people gain understanding in areas of their life where they had previously struggled.  And I love when I can bring Jesus into the conversation to add to the healing process.  As I mentioned in my previous update, covid caused a crisis of mental health.  This crisis continues, and many people are hurting and looking for help.  Because of my ministry being under Youth Unlimited, I have the opportunity to provide therapy to all youth connected to one of our programs.  And because of the generous donations, I can offer up to ten free sessions.  Many of our youth would have to wait for up to a year, sometimes longer, but through Youth Unlimited they can have access to counselling in a couple weeks.  So thank you!!  I was also thrilled to be invited to be a part of a mental health team that serves our staff across Canada.  In May I was able to attend a staff retreat where I could offer counselling for those attending.  Thank you for your continued prayers and financial support!!  It is greatly appreciated!
