Our Programs
Christ-centered mental health support groups
A place to be anchored. A place to belong.
Anchor International offers short-term and long-term programs to support mental wellness and spiritual growth in all seasons of life. Our curricula is developed through a collaboration of faith leaders and mental health professionals with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. By following our Anchors of Wellness model, our groups help keep members anchored in faith, community, and hope.
“Fearless is an amazing program that encourages students in bettering their mental, emotional, and spiritual health through community. It was so amazing to have time dedicated to discussing these things with a community of people that I care about and that I know cares about me. I went into Fearless kind of hesitant, not knowing what to expect, but I figured I’d try it out. I learned so much about myself, other people, and how to effectively care for myself and others. Fearless was a great experience, and I hope more people get a chance to experience it. “
“The Overcome meetings helped me overcome the pain from my childhood that I could not seem to face. The conversations that I call ‘real talk’ made me realize that I am valued, needed, and loved. The small group provided a safe place to discover my worth. I loved the people who shared this space with me and the facilitator who was our guiding light. I shall never forget this awesome experience.”
Anchors of Wellness
Anchor International support groups are structured around the Anchors of Wellness. This is a self-awareness tool that helps promote personal and spiritual growth and create a healthy and productive group experience.
