Codependency Counselor- We train and certify Codependency Counselors for individual counseling, as leaders of Codependency Groups and as educators to provide these services to other leaders within their church.  Many Christian men and women are seriously challenged in this area and left without solution.  The church needs to step up to the plate and face these afflictions head on. Literally, all the classes (with the power Jesus Christ) have the ability to heal the afflicted, who then in turn, are equipped to help others find find that same freedom.  As they move forward helping others, they continue to experience His transforming power in their own life.  The education and materials available help equip and provide what is necessary to start groups and services within their own church. So many Christians are challenged with these issues with no place to turn for help.  Click here for specific info about getting started!
