This fall, Balm Care Community Action Center is launching two virtual support groups, and I'd love for you — or someone you know — to be part of one of them.

BALM822 — Mental Health Support Group
A free, faith-based space to process, heal, and grow in community. Thursdays, 6:30 PM ET, starting August 20 through November 12. ($17.99 workbook fee)

GriefShare — Grief Recovery Support Group
For anyone who has lost a loved one and needs a safe place to grieve, ask questions, and heal. Mondays, 6:00–7:30 PM ET, starting August 17 through November 9. ($25 workbook fee.)
Both are virtual, both are led with compassion and faith, and both exist because healing shouldn't have to happen alone.
If either of these speaks to where you are right now, I'd be honored to have you join us. And if you know someone who's struggling with their mental health or grieving a loss, please share this with them — sometimes the invitation is the hardest part, and I'd rather make it easy.

You can find the full details and registration using the QR CODES below or feel free to message me directly or email [email protected] with any questions.

Balm Care Community Action Center exists to bring healing, hope, and practical resources to our community — one family at a time. That's why we're excited to share that our Executive Director, Dr. Darshan Nicole Williams, PhD, will be a guest on The FaithSecure Podcast, hosted by Dr. Michael D. Brown, DBA, CPP.

The episode, "When the Shepherd Needs Shepherding: Caring for the Mental Health of Church Leaders," echoes the heart behind our Balm Access to Healing Initiative and BALM 822 support group — because the people who care for everyone else deserve care too, and healing should never be out of reach regardless of circumstance.

Release date coming soon. Follow The FaithSecure Podcast on YouTube so you don't miss this conversation.

There are people in our community carrying grief, anxiety, and heartbreak they've never had the resources to talk through — some because counseling costs too much, others because they've never found a counselor who takes their faith seriously.

That's why we started Balm Access to Healing — faith-integrated, PhD-level Christian counseling made accessible through Balm Care Community Action Center, delivered in partnership with Breath Center Global.

Right now this program is in its pilot season, which means space is intentionally limited. If you or someone you love needs support, we invite you to reach out — and if you're in a season where you can give, your gift sponsors a session for someone who could not otherwise afford one.

Every gift is a ripple. Give or inquire: [email protected]
