Survey for Pastors on Peer Mental Health Coaching

Delaware Christian Counseling Collective is an organization in formation, exploring a faith-based peer mental health coaching service for Dover and Kent County. This survey is conducted by Melodi Kitzmiller, founder, as early-stage research.

A peer mental health coach is a trained lay member of the community who offers structured emotional and spiritual support. Coaches walk alongside a person after a pastoral referral, teach coping strategies, help them connect with a licensed mental health professional when needed, and offer support after therapy. Coaches do not diagnose or provide therapy.

This survey takes about 3–5 minutes and is anonymous. Your answers will be used for early-stage planning only.
