Code Of Ethics

We believe the Bible to be the final authoritative basis for faith, values and ethics

Mental health coaches shall recognize and uphold inherent God-given worth and dignity of those they serve

Mental health coaches shall represent themselves accurately in the interest of the client’s welfare. Competent mental health coaches represent their qualifications fairly and accurately, correcting any misunderstandings clients may have about their qualifications.

Mental health coaches will recognize their boundaries of competence and provide only those services and use only those techniques for which they are qualified by training or experience

Mental health coaches will never intimidate, threaten, harass, use undue influence, physical force or verbal abuse or make unwarranted promises and benefits to the individuals they serve

Mental health coaches will respect the privacy and confidentiality of those they serve

Mental health coaches will not enter into dual or multiple relationships that conflict with the interest of those they support

Mental health coaches will not engage in business, extend or receive loans or receive gifts of significant value from those they serve

Additionally, we submit to the more descript code of ethics as listed by the American Association of Christian Counselors. This document can be found here.
