All Services delivered by The Chara Project, as well as information on our website www.thecharaproject.com, are meant to help you learn how to study the Bible. Our coaching service is NOT professional mental health care or spiritual direction for your life, nor should be considered as such. 

In that spirit, by purchasing coaching services from The Chara Project and their Coaches, you confirm that you have read and agreed to each statement and that you wish to proceed:

• I understand that the Chara Coaches do not function as a licensed mental health professionals and the coaching services I will be receiving from my Coach are different from and should not be a substitute for therapy, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or professional counseling and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy. Therefore, for the best interest of myself, if at any point in time the content of the conversation goes beyond the scope of Biblical coaching, outside counsel will be referred.

• I understand that coaching is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any mental health conditions, replace psychiatric interventions, recovery from past abuse, financial assistance, legal counsel or other professional services. 

• I understand that Chara Coaching is not financial advice and any decisions and actions I may take in that regard are done without a Chara Coach’s advice or recommendation, and are purely my responsibility.

• I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my coaching sessions, and subsequently, including my choices and decisions.

If I report child abuse, elder abuse, or neglect, or threaten to harm myself or anyone else, I understand that necessary actions will be taken and my confidentiality agreement will be limited in this capacity. Furthermore, if my Coach is ordered by a court to provide information or to testify, they will do so to the extent that the law requires.
