Presence+
Formation for everyone in the work of healing.
Presence+ takes the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person — the anthropology behind DMU's graduate degrees — and puts it in the hands of the doctors, counselors, coaches, ministers, teachers, and parents doing the work of accompaniment, and of the parishes, dioceses, and Catholic organizations that support them.
Who it's for
Everyone doing the work of accompaniment.
Individuals can enroll directly and work at their own pace. Institutions get the whole platform, and the base package is free to run a parish or campus ministry.
