Associates in Christian Counseling Angel Award

As part of our annual banquet, we began a new tradition this year of recognizing the efforts of someone in our community who has been an advocate for mental health. We are calling this the Angel Award. Our desire is to emphasize the true meaning of the word angel, that is, one who delivers an important message.

The 2007 Angel Award bears this inscription, “… presented to Mr. Robert Mills in recognition of his tireless efforts as a messenger of hope and understanding to those who struggle with emotional disorders, to their families, and to our community.”

Bob Mills has a long history of advocacy for, and ministry to, those with emotional disorders. He has spoken publicly about the problem of stigma and continually works to overcome it. Bob has been a pioneer in the establishment of church-based support groups for those with emotional disorders as well as for their family members. His most recent project is to educate those in the faith community about mental health issues. By developing a curriculum and recruiting a teaching team of mental health professionals, Bob is bringing information directly to church groups. This angel has built bridges in every direction for the sake of understanding, and has served and supported Associates in Christian Counseling as well as the Forsyth County Mental Health Association and other organizations.

We are privileged to have Bob Mills as a long-time friend and supporter of Associates in Christian Counseling.
