Shield Bearer Counseling Centers Thu 26 Jun 08

I'm pleased to announce that I am joining Shield Bearer Counseling Centers as a volunteer member of the Board of Directors.  This is a great way for me to give back to the community in a way that I can use my skills to help others  (don't worry I'm not one of the counselers).

"Shield Bearer Counseling Centers exists to assist people who are struggling with individual, marital and family problems. Shield Bearer offers highly trained and educated counselors who can provide the kind of confidentiality and specialized treatment plan that can help get people started in the right direction."

Shield Bearer offers counseling by therapists licensed in the state of Texas but more importantly they are people that care about helping other people.  As a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization they turn no one away; services are offered on a sliding scale based on ability to pay.  Shield Bearer currently sees people who struggle with:

• Sexual Abuse
• Depression
• Marital infidelity
• Anxiety
• Adolescent issues
• Parenting challenges
• Trauma
• Anger Management

In addition, Shield Bearer provides several community and school based programs.  This past Spring, over 650 high school students completed the Date Rape and Dating Violence Prevention Programs.  Schools of Poverty receive the Strong Fathers Strong Families increasing student academic performance, school safety and parent involvement.  Conflict resolution and community building are also available to businesses, teams and community organizations. 

Shield-Bearer is an approved referral source for Cy-Fair Independent School District, the third largest ISD in the state of Texas. Shield Bearer is an approved training site for graduate counseling students including Master’s level students from the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work.
