“How To Counsel a Friend Over a Cup of Coffee” With Jennifer Ellers of AACC

Did you know that only one-third of those who struggle with mental health are getting support from a licensed professional? 

When you walk through a difficult season or support a loved one through theirs, it can be challenging to admit you don’t feel equipped to handle it.

But the truth is trying to fix it is actually not what people need the most. 

In this new conversation with professional counselor and crisis chaplain Jennifer Ellers, we learn that showing up for the people we care about doesn’t mean we have to have all the answers — we just need to listen with care and compassion.
