Page History
The stress and difficulty of living overseas takes a toll on all international workers. We desire for every worker to work toward maintaining spiritual, mental, and emotional health. Therefore it is important to us to provide clear pathways to access counseling, whether in response to a major life event or for keeping routine stressors in check. We want to make quality care as accessible as possible by the following three ways.

Providers
Below are some recommended providers that other Reliant workers have utilized and that we believe will offer quality, gospel-based care. You can find more about the services that each offers on their websites. Counseling is not one-size-fits-all, so if you try one counselor and it is not a good fit, don't worry! That is normal! It make take a couple of tries to find the best counseling relationship for you. Of course, you are welcome to use any counselor of your choice.

How it Works
Once we receive the bill from the counselor, we will pay the entire bill. We will then deduct 75% of the cost from the account you are responsible for to cover your portion. After 12 sessions, the full portion of the bill will come from the account you are responsible for.
If you are using a counselor of your choice, you can still utilize the member care benefits. You will need to submit the receipts to international@reliant.org and we will transfer 25% of the cost to your MTD fund to help with the costs.
