The Good Samaritan System

What is the Good Samaritan System?

The Good Samaritan System amplifies your congregation’s greatest asset, its members, for success both inside and outside the church by utilizing their inherent capacity to support one another through Christ.

We are your partner in maximizing a congregation’s capacity for peer support. By choosing us, you will enhance and normalize your congregation's access to mental health and substance use care, prevent and manage challenges, and strengthen the connection of your congregation. The Good Samaritan System enhances your Church’s care through ethical, customized, and measurement-based mental health coaching.

-Luke 10:33

Christ’s parable of the Good Samaritan has never been more applicable than in today’s modern world. Jesus calls us to stop, kneel, and attend to our fellow traveler in need. The Good Samaritan System is a wholistic training program that amplifies your volunteers’ competencies in noticing, attending, and supporting your congregation in need.
