Help for Church Workers and Families

Mental Health Case Manager

The Michigan District, LCMS offers a confidential process for church workers and their families to receive guidance when they are going through a difficult time and to help them make an informed decision about their mental and emotional health. Please note: this is not a hotline for help or for emergencies. If this is an emergency, please dial 911.

Please contact our Mental Health Case Manager to get started. She will gather some basic information and connect you with a counselor in your area. These counselors are vetted by Lutheran licensed counselor Rev. John Rathje. (If you would like to discuss the vetting process, contact him directly via email. )
