A Mental Health Task Force established by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States this week published a comprehensive and unified directory of Orthodox Christian Mental Health Professionals in America.
The directory includes Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Christians who are verified to be in good sacramental standing by their parish priest or local bishop. The interactive directory allows users to search, by zip code, for Orthodox Christian mental health providers licensed to practice in their state. Additionally, the directory offers useful details about each provider’s area of practice, as well as contact information.
According to an announcement, the Assembly of Bishops recognizes the value of mental health services and encourages the clergy and faithful to seek help in times of need.
