​Joy For the Soul was started in 2020 by our founders, Carrice and Jacob.  

​

As a mental health and crisis counselor, Carrice became aware of life's different struggles. She knows that people tend to hide their problems in order not to burden other people around them.

 

She founded Joy For The Soul so people don’t have to feel alone or ashamed to talk about their issues. She felt compelled to start the organization after she lost a friend to suicide, after her dad became critically ill due to health concerns, and after many of her family members and friends began struggling with isolation and grief, much of which was related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Carrice always wants you to know that you don’t need to walk this journey alone and that you are loved. ​

Jacob is currently a Board-Certified chaplain.  He was drawn to participate as a co-founder for Joy For the Soul as he witnessed time and again the immense levels of grief and sorrow that family members and friends experience at the bedside of a loved one.

 

Jacob is honored to be a part of a team that extends hope and healing during a time of uncertainty.  He wants those who are deeply hurting to know that they are not alone, their burdens can be lifted and hope remains alive.​​
