Christ-centered mental health support groups

A place to be anchored. A place to belong.

Anchor International offers short-term and long-term programs designed to support mental wellness and spiritual growth in all seasons of life. Each curriculum has been 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.
