Professional Help

Very few churches are prepared to make credible referrals to members and neighbors seeking or needing professional help. For Christian practitioner referrals, contact one of the recovery resources listed below.

• American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) or Christian Care Network (CCN) to locate a Christian counselors in your state or province.
• The North American Division Family Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist church hosts an online database to assist you in locating an Adventist counselor in your area.
• Pastors both in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and other area Christian churches in the community are often helpful in locating Christian counselors.
• Hospitals, especially Christian hospitals, may also be helpful.  Contact their chaplaincy department.

Remember no two people are the same and no two counselors will be the same.  Be willing to find the person who can best help you in your recovery.  A professional Christian counselor should not undermine a person’s core beliefs.
