Feeling anxious, stressed, angry, tired or fatigued? Feel like you weren’t quite prepared for the stressors and collective trauma of the COVID-19 storm? You aren’t alone. 

ACC's Strengthening Resilience Program provides pastors and chaplains of Atlantic Coast Conference up to five free sessions with a counselor or spiritual director as part of the process of building resilience. We have arrangements with three providers (meet them here) but the program can also cover the cost of continuing with your own counselor or spiritual director.

Submit the application or any questions to your converence minister or to the ACC office at office@atlanticcoastconference.net.
