Professional counseling benefits individuals, families and the community.  Unfortunately, there are people who cannot afford to get the help they need.  That is why we, at New Day Counseling, began the Helping Families Cope Program. It is funded by donations from caring people who want to help others get the professional counseling help they need but cannot afford. 

If you would like to help make a difference in someone’s life, please consider donating to the Helping Families Cope Program. 

Donations of any amount are appreciated.  100% of the proceeds are used to provide professional counseling to individuals and families who qualify.  All donations are tax-deductible. 

The Helping Families Cope Program p
rovides participating low-income families with 5 to 10 paid sessions of counseling to help them cope, and give them hope and healing.  Because of the generous support of caring people, this program is able to help so many people in the Metro Detroit Area. 

Following are Testimonials from Clients of the Helping Families Cope Program

(used with permission):
“My name is Telethia and I would just like to say that going to the Helping Families Cope Program helped me tremendously. I am glad that I was able to find a program that made it possible for a single parent such as myself to get the help that I needed to overcome some obstacles I was facing in my life. Not only did this program help me but it helped my son as well. The staff there are wonderful people!! I hope this program will continue to be around to help more people such as myself.”  T.H. 

I always knew I needed to get help, just could never afford it. With this program, I got the help to feel better and be healthier.” L.R.

 “I’m so thankful for the Helping Families Cope Program.  It has helped me start living my life again and go back to who I used to be before my anxiety attacks.  Our therapy sessions have helped me cope with bad situations. This was a huge blessing that came to me. This program is needed to help a lot of people. I highly recommend it!” S.M.


“My husband and I came to New Day desperate for guidance and support as our marriage seemed to be falling apart at the seams. We scraped together the full cost of an hour appointment (we didn't have insurance) because we knew how important it was. We figured on going to see our therapist once a month or as often as we could afford it. At the first session, she told us about the Helping Families Cope Program that would significantly cut the cost of our sessions. Through this program, we were able to attend weekly sessions instead of monthly as we originally thought. With the help of this program, our therapist helped save our marriage and our family. We are now a happy family of 4, and we thank God for our therapist, New Day, and the Helping Families Cope Program. I really don't know where we'd be without them!” M.C.


“I want to thank New Day Counseling, especially our therapist, for their hard work and dedication to me and my son at a minimal fee. Thru financial hard times I was concerned I could not pay for sessions and had many issues that I needed addressed NOW so I could sleep peacefully at night. I am so thankful they provided us a discount and that I didn't have to wait to get a job to pay. I was laid off.  It shows me they really care about people (my son and I) and will be there for us no matter what. Thank you. You have helped me thru some of my most difficult times of my life and I won’t hesitate to make another appointment or send a referral your way.” K.S.

Making Gratitude A Habit
















One of the greatest habits we can ever develop is the habit of gratitude.  The more we practice it, the more joy and peace we will have.  Having a gratitude attitude helps us to be positive and optimistic because we are more likely to focus on what we have rather than what we do not have.  We also are more likely to appreciate simple things in life like remembering to be thankful for a new day. 

When we practice a gratitude attitude, we like to let others know we appreciate them by the way we treat them. Also, we are much more likely to enjoy what we have and what we do, or at least find the good in it.  And, when we make gratitude a habit, we tend to not take things or people for granted.  

When gratitude fills our hearts, we practice it with our words, attitudes or actions.  Practicing gratitude keeps us from grumbling and complaining.  But, that is the key.  It is a healthy habit and must be practiced daily.  It is all too easy to allow disappointments, pressures of life, troubles, and people to steal our gratitude.  We must guard our hearts all the time and stay thankful if we want to be happy.  Remember, these simple words of wisdom:  It is not happy people who are thankful; it is thankful people who are happy!
