Our membership Facebook community , available through the AACC, provides a collab orative space for Christian counselors to con nect, discuss challenges, and share resources. Engaging with these groups can be especially helpful if you seek advice on handling complex cases or pursue ideas to grow your practice. Sharing your experiences and insights can help others and position you as a resource within the community. AACC also offers The Care and Counsel Podcast (formerly CounselBytes), a monthly podcast hosted by Dr. Tim and Zach Clinton featuring Christian counseling and mental health experts.
