Guidelines
C.L.I.C. is an acronym for Choosing Life In Christ, because C.L.I.C. believes in choosing life with Christ instead of the death that is in the world. This is a peer-led Bible study and support group that offers Christ-like principles and love to those overcoming mental health disorders in themselves or their loved ones. Members of C.L.I.C. are not victims but people striving to be overcomers. We will offer support and not advice. We believe that medicine and different therapies can be necessary when striving to overcome mental health disorders and will not condemn someone for using healthy methods to treat their illness. We do not diagnose or judge. All members of C.L.I.C. will abide by the rule that what is said or happens in the group will stay in the group. Our goal is that it will “click” for you that life is in Christ and not in your mental health disorder.
