Are You Making This #1 Deadly Mistake?
Have you ever lost a good night’s sleep because you bombed a session? You said the wrong thing? You didn’t know what to do or didn’t do enough? Do you wish you had a safe place, perhaps a friend or colleague’s office, where you could drop by for a few minutes to get some advice, encouragement, or prayer?
Working with difficult clients and tough situations is not for the faint of heart. That's why we created EQUIP.
GAIN GREATER CONFIDENCE WITH YOUR MOST DIFFICULT CLIENT SITUATIONS
We know you care about your work with hurting people. That's why you are here. Being competent is important to you. Gaining new ideas and learning new skills are all crucial to your growth. But not having appropriate mentorship and support can be lethal.
There are always going to be those moments when you won’t feel confident putting your knowledge and skills into practice. Especially when you encounter tricky and complex individuals.
Perhaps you’ve longed to have a mentor, another counselor who was an expert in your field. A person you respected, who you could e-mail or talk to about a case you were struggling with. Someone you felt free to connect with when you felt confused, or scared and needed to ask a few questions about what to do next.
We get it! Chris and I have been there. And, we are committed to being those mentors for you.
We want to help you gain greater competence and confidence working with destructive individuals and marriage situations. We also know how important it is to be a part of a vibrant community of like-minded people who know how tough it can be to listen, love, and help others well day in and day out.
So, if you’re sick of struggling alone……. we invite you to join EQUIP
EQUIP is an on-line support community of Christ-centered people helpers who desire to:
Get monthly mentoring and case consultation with experts in their field
Sharpen their knowledge, skill sets, and professional expertise
Connect with others who share common goals for community and support
EQUIP is an opportunity for you to connect regularly with us (Chris and Leslie) through video lessons, a private Facebook support group, and by Zoom video call each month so that you gain clarity on your cases, competence in your skill set, and confidence in your approach.
Plus, you will be a part of a robust on-line private community who will support and encourage you in your professional life.
Leslie Vernick is committed to ensuring the highest level of confidentiality for any and all information shared by individuals within her support groups. However, please be advised that in certain situations involving litigation, disclosure of certain information shared in support groups may be required by the court. While Leslie will protect this group to the furthest extent permitted by law, rules of confidentiality and disclosure vary from state to state. For further information, contact a local attorney in your county and state
Members of EQUIP enjoy these benefits every month:
Monthly Videos
Each month, Leslie and Chris will provide you with two short teaching videos (30 minutes or less) posted on EQUIP membership site on a specific training topic along with a detailed handout. This will enable you to learn something new and immediately take steps put into practice what you have learned.
Monthly Q & A Sessions
Each month we will host a 90 minute group zoom where you will be able to discuss cases, ask questions, share your challenges, and learn how to apply new tools in your practice. Each session is recorded so you can listen to it as many times as you want. If you have to miss a session or come late or have to leave early the recording will keep you in the loop.
Powered by Searchie
We know you're busy and likely don't have time to consume hundreds of teaching videos. That's why our entire video library is powered by Searchie. Search our entire video library by any mention of a word and instantly find the content you need, when you need it.
Private Facebook Group
You will be invited to join a private Facebook group forum where you can share, ask questions, and get daily support from a community of like-minded peers. Chris and Leslie also check this page regularly for comments and updates.
Your EQUIP Success Begins Here
With our 50+ years of combined experience, we have designed the EQUIP Pillars of Success. These pillars will help you build a strong foundation to grow upon year after year.
The pillars are designed to work like the seasons, repeating each phase as you and your practice grow and evolve.
You can revisit each pillar as many times as you need to. This means you'll be consistently building your skills, knowledge, community, confidence, and impact.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
LeAnne Parsons
Certified Professional Coach
I feel that my knowledge base and my tool belt have increased tremendously sense i joined Equip. I am more confident in my ability and wisdom to serve. Knowing that I can bring cases and wins as well as challenges and questions to the group for feedback and support keeps me in the arena with this group of abusers and victims. Everyone who works with this population should be in Equip. No question.
Colleen Ramser
LPC, Trauma Specialist
I have a much better grasp of domestic abuse nuances in the church and with my clients. I'm better equipped to deal with domestic abuse in a Christian context. I have also learned from Leslie ways to grow your own online ministry. The experience in equip has not only been valuable in terms of content, the community is welcoming and I cannot imagine my work or ministry without the collaboration.
Diana Bala
LPCC-S, NCC, Clinical Counselor
It's a great place to ask questions and share your thoughts - non judgmental, growth oriented. I love that about Leslie and Chris and the group.
Elise Berryhill
Licensed Professional Counselor
If God has called you to be a people helper, especially with Christians or in the church, then you must know and be EQUIPPED to recognize and deal with abuse in all its forms.
Eunia Lee

Helping destructive relationships is hard work and not meant to be done alone. We are in this together as we speak into destructive dynamics in marriages, families, and churches.
