Sometimes a minister spends so much time ministering, he or she may not have time to spend being ministered to. NCYM has counselors available as a resource for our ministers to be able to have someone to talk with either for themselves or for something they are needing help with. The following licensed counselors will be available during the 2020 NCYM conference.
