We do not want the cost of care to create a barrier to people receiving therapy and coaching in the wake of painful, traumatic events. Left untreated, these issues can deteriorate into divorce, unemployment, financial ruin, abuse, addiction, theft, and acts of violence. Now consider that globally, over 400 million people per year struggle with emotional, behavioural, or interpersonal problems, but don’t have access to a mental health professional (WHO, 2003) to help them.
At the same time, when we need it more than ever, people are walking away from their faith, or not even considering questions of faith in the face of overwhelming life events.
At The Forward Foundation, we’re trying to do something about that by building a growing network of dedicated counselors and coaches motivated by faith to help the hurting overcome obstacles, get unstuck and begin asking themselves existential questions about the larger meaning and purpose of life.
Locally, we offer counseling and coaching services to individuals and couples as a practical, tangible expression of our love and support for the people in our community. Nationally and internationally, we provide accredited coach training to churches, charities and individuals who would like to add a coaching service to their menu of care and discipleship options.
The Forward Foundation is incorporated as a 501(c) 3 non-profit, non-denominational religious organization. We depend upon donations to keep costs low enough that services are accessible to our clients, locally and around the world, who could not otherwise afford care.
Please consider donating to meet people at a point of crisis with a tangible expression of your faith in action.
Your tax-deductible investment in this mission will:
- Provide counselling and coaching scholarships to missionaries, church leaders and hurting people.
- Fund scholarships for people who want to become a LifeCare coach, but can’t afford training.
- Fund training events for teams of people at churches and charities locally, nationally and abroad who have a heart to help others apply their faith to difficult life situations but can’t afford the expense of hosting a training.
- Allow us to invest in people who can develop and maintain our communications efforts to expand our impact around the world.
- Fund development of e-learning training courses that will allow us to create a more accessible, less costly way to train missionaries, church leaders and other care-minded individuals around the world to become LifeCare coaches.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.”
-2 Corinthians 1:3-5
