Presence+ · For dioceses, networks & organizations
Help your members discover their calling, develop their strengths, and live their purpose.
Presence+ gives dioceses, networks, and Catholic organizations immediate, accessible pathways to human flourishing — the STEP model of care, grounded in both the science of well-being and the transcendent dignity of every person.
Our foundation
A commitment to the well-being of every member.
Organizational flourishing begins with a commitment to the well-being of every member. Presence+ partners with organizations to build environments where people thrive — combining proven psychological frameworks with a holistic view of the person, so your organization builds a culture of care rather than a menu of services.
The STEP model of care creates several accessible entry points for support, so every member can find the resources and accompaniment they need at the level they need it.
Community-centered care
Flourishing happens in community. People thrive when they feel seen, valued, and supported by those around them — so the work starts with the culture of the organization, and every member is treated as someone the community is responsible for.
Strengths-based approach
Rather than cataloguing deficits, we help your organization develop the strengths already present in each member — so people contribute to the community while finding purpose in doing so.
The integrated approach
The marriage of science and soul.
Presence+ pairs the PERMA framework from positive psychology with a holistic model of the person — so the science of flourishing serves a full account of who the person is.
The PERMA framework
Positive Emotion
Cultivating joy, contentment, and hope in daily life.
Engagement
Finding flow and purpose in work and relationships.
Relationships
Building meaningful connections and community.
Meaning
Discovering purpose and contributing to something greater.
Accomplishment
Growing, achieving goals, and celebrating success.
A holistic model of the person
- Physical health and well-being as a foundation for flourishing
- Emotional and psychological development for resilience and growth
- Social and relational health through real community connections
- Spiritual and existential fulfillment rooted in purpose and transcendence
- Integrated wholeness that honors how these dimensions depend on each other
Why this integration matters
Research shows that roughly 80% of those seeking support need accompaniment and strengths-based interventions — yet most traditional models start from what's wrong. The integrated approach combines scientific evidence with respect for human dignity, and it changes what your members experience:
- People feel genuinely seen when the starting point is their strengths, not their file
- Support addresses the whole person — body, mind, relationships, and soul — instead of isolated problems
- Research-backed frameworks give leadership something proven to build on
- Community-based care reduces isolation and creates networks of mutual support
- Members who discover their calling become the strongest carriers of your organization's culture
The STEP model of care
Accessible pathways to support at every level.
Five steps, from resources a member picks up on their own to one-on-one coaching. People enter at the level that fits and move up or down as their needs change.
Self-directed resources
Tools, guides, and digital resources that let individuals begin their own work of discovery and growth at their own pace.
Peer support
Structured peer-to-peer connections where members support one another through shared experience.
Structured programs
Workshops, classes, and group learning experiences that build skills, explore strengths, and foster connection.
Group coaching
Facilitated group sessions where members work under expert guidance to face challenges and develop their potential.
Individual coaching
One-on-one coaching for members with specific needs or goals — deep, individualized support for flourishing.
Cross-Connect · A Presence+ signature feature
Your people see the providers you welcome. No one else.
Cross-Connect lets the head of any organization on the platform — a pastor, a chaplain, an administrator — welcome spiritual directors, therapists, and coaches from any practice on the platform into their community's app, a whole practice at a time or one provider at a time.
Here's what that looks like in practice. The pastor of Christ the King can make all of the Freedom Associates counselors visible to his parishioners in the app — or select only certain counselors. His parishioners open the app and see a circle of providers their pastor has personally welcomed, working on the same platform where the parish's own care already happens.
You curate who your people see
Providers appear in your community's app only when you welcome them. Your members browse a circle you chose, not an open marketplace.
Nothing appears without a welcome
No practice, and no individual provider, becomes visible to your community without the pastor's, chaplain's, or administrator's explicit welcome.
Expand or trim the circle anytime
Welcome a whole practice today, narrow it to two providers next month, add a spiritual direction practice at Advent. The circle is yours to shape.
