Blessings! I have another exciting opportunity for you all, which I hope everyone interested will take advantage of. I received a Full Tuition Scholarship ($2,400 value) to become a Certified Mental Health Coach and I want to pass along the information to you, so you can receive the same scholarship. If you have an interest in Biblical or Christian Counseling with your church, this free training program is a perfect match for you. It is 40 hours of learning through Light University, which is associated with the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). It consists of three online courses that are available to you to work on 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Although they are considered Continuing Education (CEU), if you want to get college credit, you can transfer the coursework for an accredited degree at Houston Christian University or Liberty University, etc. There are also other Christian colleges where you may receive college-level credit as life learning assessment as well for a degree. The training program is excellent, as the coursework is taught by top-notch Christians in the mental health field. At the end of the program, you will receive a Certificate as a Mental Health Coach, which enables you to be recognized as a type of Life Coach / Christian Counselor with a specialization in helping people with serious mental illness. Also, for disclosure, although it is a full tuition scholarship ($2,400 value), there is a small administrative fee ($54) for those to enroll. You have access to complete the program for 365 days and all the reading materials / lecture videos are embedded within each of the three classes. So, there is no additional fees for books, etc. Over 26,000 people have received the scholarship so far with the organization’s goal of educating 32,000 people as mental health coaches with their churches.
