SAMARITAN COUNSELING CENTER SPEAKER SERIES
The Samaritan Speakers, all of which are Samaritan Counseling Center therapists, will be offering programs to congregations and community groups. The next series will begin in the fall of 2008.
The Samaritan Speakers series is made possible by the Silent Samaritan Fund (see below), supported by anonymous women donors dedicated to helping women achieve better lives.
If your congregation, agency, or organization would like to host a Samaritan Speaker, or, if you are interested in attending a Samaritan Speakers program, please call the Samaritan Counseling Center office at 847-446-6955 Ext 10.
BE A SILENT SAMARITAN
The idea is simple: women anonymously providing financial assistance to other women in need of counseling who cannot otherwise afford this service.
The “seeds of love” will help women right in our own neighborhoods—women who are struggling financially and emotionally to cope with daily challenges. Since the majority of people seeking counseling are women, a special fund has been created to insure that every woman who comes to the Samaritan Center will receive help, regardless of her ability to pay.
You can become a Silent Samaritan with your tax deductible check or credit card
contribution. Please make it payable
to the Samaritan Counseling Center, note that it is for the Silent Samaritan Fund and mail it to our center at 690 Oak Street, Winnetka, Illinois 60093.
Thank you for helping a woman find new hope and meaning in her life.
