Welcome To T.R.U.S.T.
T.R.U.S.T. is a faith-based bereavement and grief support ministry in Montgomery County, PA, guided by Chaplain Helen M.C. Jones, a Licensed Chaplain Practitioner and Certified Grief Counselor with over 35 years of service. Born out of personal tragedy, this ministry offers a gentle, steady presence for individuals, families, and communities walking through loss, trauma, and life's hardest valleys, providing practical intervention, reminding every heart, You Need Not Grieve Alone.
A Ministry That Knows
In August 1999, when Chaplain Helen's niece Michelle was murdered, grief moved from the counseling room into her own living room. Out of that valley T.R.U.S.T. emerged, shaped by both professional training and lived pain. Since her early days serving families through the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office, Helen has quietly shown up where others hesitate, offering prayer, presence, and practical guidance so wounded hearts can begin to breathe again in God's tender care.
Trusted Experience
For over 35 years, Chaplain Helen has met grieving families in morgues, homes, churches, and hospitals, blending grief counseling, chaplaincy, and lived loss into steady, compassionate care.
Faith Presence
T.R.U.S.T. rests on Psalm 23, offering a quiet ministry of presence, prayer when invited, and Scripture that meets real emotions, so hurting hearts encounter God's comfort right where their pain feels heaviest.
Support For Every Season
Whether you face anticipatory grief, a recent death, or long-term sorrow, we provide counseling, crisis response, and funeral celebrancy, walking with you patiently as life reshapes around deep loss.
Our Heartbeat Of Hope
T.R.U.S.T. grew from the heartbreak of Michelle's murder, when Chaplain Helen carried her own family's grief while serving others. Psalm 23 became a lifeline, shaping a ministry where nobody walks the valley alone.
