COMPANIONSHIP is a ministry of PRESENCE, a relationship responding to isolation and suffering and supportive of healing and recovery.
COMPANIONSHIP welcomes the stranger, building a CIRCLE of CARE with individuals who are facing emotional and mental health challenges.
COMPANIONSHIP is rooted in our natural capacities as human beings to be sensitive, compassionate and concerned.
