About the Daniel & Joy Initiative
We support the mental wellbeing of pastors, ministry workers, church staff, and their families by helping them access confidential counselling, trusted referrals, and practical funding support.
Caring for the Ones who Care for others
Pastors and ministry workers are often present for others in their most painful moments. Over time, the weight of holding grief, conflict, crisis, and expectation can become heavy.
The Daniel & Joy Initiative exists to be a front door into care — helping pastors, ministry workers, church staff, and their families access confidential counselling, trusted referrals, and practical funding support so they do not have to carry ministry alone.
Why pastoral mental wellbeing
A healthy church does not only care for its members. It also cares for the people who lead, teach, counsel, visit, pray, and carry responsibility behind the scenes.
Cost, stigma, and time are often barriers to care. We want to help remove them — one honest conversation at a time.
What we hold to
Confidentiality
Every request is handled confidentially. Your story stays yours.
Dignity
Reaching out for care is not weakness. It is honest stewardship of a life entrusted to you.
Early care
Support does not need to wait for crisis. Timely care matters.
Stewardship
Caring for the people who lead is part of caring for the wider Church.
