Parakaleo is a Christian ministry at Stanford University serving graduate and undergraduate students from any and all Christian fellowships or none. The vision and purpose is to equip students with specific wisdom of Scripture to address the practical issues of life that we all encounter (e.g. handling stress, depression, loneliness, fear of missing out, relationships (e.g. boyfriend/girlfriend, roommates, labmates, family) as well as much deeper issues (e.g. healing from physical or sexual abuse, eating disorders).
Parakaleo also offers a weekly Biblical Counseling Course, mentoring and counseling for individuals & couples taking the course, and dinners in our home just off campus for fellowship evenings, Thanksgiving, Passover, etc.
