Alabama Law Change for Minors
For the current Alabama law concerning the age of consent for teens who want counseling - the legal age of consent is changing from 14 to 16 on October 1st. Anyone age 16 and older can obtain mental health services without their parents’ consent or knowledge. Dayspring will respect this change and all minors below the age of 16 will need their parents’ consent to obtain counseling services.
Dayspring’s new COMPASSION Program is here!
We are looking forward to talking with each church in our area to explain how Dayspring wants to give back to them. Dayspring has counseling for individuals, married couples, premarital, and families, from ages 10-up.

Trauma Therapy Available
Dayspring’s newest counselors have been very busy with training to learn the EMDR therapy techniques.
EMDR is a type of therapy used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional distress. Studies show that EMDR can lead to significant reduction in PTSD symptoms and improved overall mental health. Schedule your session with them today.

Because of their generosity we are able to provide discounted counseling services to women who are staying at the local women’s shelter Kelly’s Rainbow, and to women who are in the residential program Handfuls of Purpose.
At Dayspring we have limited office hours, but we want everyone to have access to mental health care at any hour that it is needed. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
