Presence+ · The platform

Six efforts, one anthropology.

Presence+ isn’t one product. It’s six separate efforts — teaching a course, running a parish, publishing a textbook, holding a clinical relationship — that all run on the same model of the person, the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person.

Area 1 · iOS & Android · formerly TruePresence

Presence+ phone application

Where individuals meet the platform daily: the formation feed, the accompaniment relationships (mentor, coach, spiritual director, licensed clinician), outcome measurement, and the CCMMP-grounded library — a rhythm of prayer rather than a feed to scroll.

Area 2 · Online certificate programs

Lifelong Learning Institute

DMU's certificate programs — the School of Spiritual Direction (SOSD), Foundations of Advanced Clinical Supervision (FACS), and a growing catalog of Presence+ tracks in parish accompaniment, teacher formation, and coach training. CEUs, competency, and specialized skills rooted in faith and scholarship.

Area 3 · Publishing arm

Divine Mercy University Press

The primary literature of the CCMMP — the foundational academic volume and its accessible mini-model, the first intro-psychology textbook built on the CCMMP (Fall 2027), and Dr. Scrofani's case-conceptualization text and workbook.

Support the textbook

Area 4 · Consulting & Speakers Bureau

Professional assistance

Two pathways for organizations that want DMU expertise: a Speakers Bureau of faculty and alumni for keynotes, retreats, and formation events; and consultants who help parishes, dioceses, and schools design accompaniment ecosystems, referral protocols, and stepped-care models.

Area 5 · CTRS — disaster response & trauma care

Center for Trauma & Resiliency Studies

CTRS trains Mental Health First Responders through the Green Cross Academy for Traumatology and fields a national response team, led by Dr. Benjamin Keyes, to serve communities in the aftermath of crisis.

Area 6 · One platform, four components

Practice management systems

The operational heart: clinical and accompaniment care, daily formation, ministry & mission management, and Mission Vital Signs — four components built to one understanding of the person. Detailed below.

Area 6, up close

Practice management: four components, one model.

The four components cover clinical care, daily formation, the day-to-day running of parishes and campuses, and the measurement leadership relies on — all built to the same CCMMP.

The clinical & accompaniment core

Mentor, coach, spiritual director, and licensed-clinician relationships on one stepped-care model, so a person meets the right helper at the right intensity. Outcome measurement is a feedback loop with the person, not a score about them; clinical data is walled off from operational data at the architecture level.

Explore the Clinical & Accompaniment Core

Daily formation

A daily spotlight — saint, virtue of the week, Mass readings, the Liturgy of the Hours — and a library of courses by Catholic clinicians and faculty. Journals, habits, and goals built for character formation, not streak-chasing.

Ministry & mission management

The everyday tools a parish or Catholic university runs on — adoration sign-ups, ministry rosters, prayer walls, Mass intentions, events, sacramental prep — built so the software honors what the CCMMP claims about the person. The parishioner is not the slot.

Explore Ministry & Mission Management

Mission Vital Signs

A measurement layer for parish and campus leadership on an anti-scorecard premise: three keys — Culture of Prayer, Evangelization, Shared Leadership — plus a North Star for Vision. Every indicator reports Level and Momentum, never a ranking. Each community is its own control.

Why this is one platform, not four.

Each component does recognizable work — scheduling adoration hours, holding clinical relationships, surfacing daily readings, measuring parish vitality. They share one platform because the anthropology has to govern the whole. It is easy to claim a person carries unearned dignity and then build software that quietly contradicts the claim: the parishioner reduced to a slot, the student to a retention metric, the prayer request to a post.

The CCMMP holds together the three things a purely technical system pulls apart — theology, philosophy, and psychology — as one account of the person. A human stays in every judgment AI cannot make; the measurement points at movement, not performance; and the mundane work of running a parish is held to the same understanding of the person as the work of accompanying someone in their healing. They are, after all, the same work.
