The Des Moines Pastoral Counseling Center announced it has raised more than $50,000 in the past two months to support mental health services through the Ellery H. Duke Fund for Hope and Healing. The fund honors Duke, who in June announced he would retire this month after 40 years at the counseling center as licensed psychologist and executive director. The fund will support new innovative programs and services such as groups for survivors of suicide loss, services for Spanish-speaking clients, support for families of addicted loved ones, and satellite counseling centers. The fund may also be used to support existing programs and services such as the center’s counseling assistance fund and its graduate psychology training program. The center has 26 licensed counselors who are master’s- and doctorate-level experts in their respective fields.
