About the Authors
Originally developed as the Directory of Faith-Affirming Community Mental Health Service Providers, the resource has grown into the S.W.I.M. Faith-Affirming Care Directory.
Dr. Kim Murray Cruse, MDiv
Founder & Executive Officer, S.W.I.M.
"One’s acknowledgement that they need help isn’t an inditement against faith, or the power of God. God is still all sufficient. Perhaps the help God has provided for some is a therapist that will both affirm their faith in God while combining psychological knowledge and practices to help sustain their healing journey. "
Rev. Daphne Swinton, LMHC, MPA
S.W.I.M. Board of Directors
"As a Minister and a Mental Health Professional, I co-authored the directory because I wanted to identify and provide the faith community with a comprehensive and diverse referral platform which offers quality mental health providers who desire to work with the faith community from that level of cultural competence."
