Partnerships
New Mercies LOVES partnering with churches, ministries and like-minded businesses to help bear the burden of caring for those God has placed in your circle of influence. With partnerships we can work together to provide care for your referral base while offering some financial assistance.

Minors
NMBC honors parental authority and believes parents are to be the chief disciplers of their children (Ephesians 6:1-4; Proverbs 1:8). Therefore, parents or legal guardians are required to be involved in the counseling process with any children under the age of 18. This is achieved through regularly inviting parents/guardians into the counseling setting with minors and a Parent Consult (via phone or in person) being scheduled prior to minors one on one with counselor.

Confidentiality
No information is disclosed without prior written permission from the counselee. However, we take a few exceptions to this rule, which are:
*Suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse.
*If a counselee is threatening serious bodily harm to another person.
*If a counselee intends to harm himself or herself.
In these cases, proper reporting will take place.
