Services
Drawing on the diverse resources of the MCS and SCA staff, we provide an array of services to meet the needs of missionaries at home and abroad.
Candidate Assessment
Through clinical interviews and psychological assessment, we generate a multidimensional profile of the individual, couple or family. We then provide them and the sending agency with a written report of the findings and our recommendations.

Crisis Intervention
Occasionally a missionary requires immediate intervention following traumatic events. MCS tailors a goal-oriented treatment program to deal with the missionary's specific concerns, leading to short term changes where needed most. This might include critical incident debriefing and other customized services.
Equipping and Training
MCS seminars, workshops and other customized services encourage churches and mission groups while providing relevant information and developing specific skills. We present research and treatment modalities at the Mental Health and Missions Conference periodically.
On-Field Care
MCS can send short-term professional staff on the field to meet with missionaries and national staff. There we can provide enrichment, assessment, therapy and crisis intervention.
Family and Third Culture Kid Services
Children of missionaries (third culture Kids) face unique challenges, and their healthy adjustment is cricial to the family's ministry. MCS designs services to meet each family's needs in the following areas:
- Family assessment
- Culture transition and adjustment
- Identity
- Grief and loss
- Renewal
- Development
- Resiliency
As stewards of God's resources, MCS makes these services available at reasonable cost.
