Program accomplishments

  • In 2025, Agape Christian Counseling provided 9,167 hours of psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families, including therapy for recipients of the Agape Scholarship Program. Scholarship recipient hours included hours of psychotherapy to Veterans and hours of psychotherapy to our partner organizations who serve survivors of human trafficking and children living in difficult situations, as well as those who qualify for scholarship funding. 223 hours of psychotherapy were covered from the remaining funds from the grants received in previous years. Grants were used for providing therapy to those who were not able to afford it. We believe everyone should have access to mental health resources, regardless of their ability to pay. Our scholarship fund helps individuals with low income, no health insurance, and those who have experienced a hardship such as loss of job, severe illness, or natural disaster.
