Have you ever wondered how one person can cope after a traumatic event while someone else is distraught and hopeless?

The person who doesn’t know how to cope is often left asking “Why me, God?,” succumbing to suicide, substance abuse or becoming extremely depressed. But, they don’t have to remain in that mental state with the help of a counselor.

Clinical Mental Health Counselors are trained to provide proper prevention and treatment, such as suicide de-escalation, stress management and self-care. With their skills and experience, they are able to “talk them off the ledge” and help patients find a new found hope.

Additionally, with skills gained from the online Master’s in Counseling program at Divine Mercy University, counselors learn the role that spirituality and the Catholic-Christian faith play in helping and hindering people in crisis (course COUN 640 Crisis & Trauma).

This degree may help you keep someone from “jumping off the ledge” when they don’t feel like living any longer. Save lives by becoming a professional counselor.
