Our culture is in the middle of a mental health crisis. Record numbers of Americans say they’re anxious. More and more teenagers and young adults report struggling with depression. And loneliness has grown to “epidemic” proportions.
How can we, as communities of faith, become places where hope and restoration flourish?
Mental Health and Ministry: Becoming Communities of Care is a members-exclusive workshop designed to help you and your congregation join God’s good work of healing: walking with neighbors through the valleys, breaking down stigmas and misconceptions, and nurturing spiritual hope.
Through engagement with Scripture and practical instruction by Hollie Holt-Woehl, a theologian and mental health expert, you’ll gain the tools and resources you need to fold those with mental health challenges into the embrace of community.
You’ll learn:
- How to help your congregation better understand those dealing with mental health challenges.
- Practices to talk about mental health openly and compassionately.
- Concrete ways your faith community can come alongside neighbors struggling with mental health concerns.
- How Scripture calls us to embrace everyone, no matter what they’re facing.
- Storytelling tools that break down stigma and create space for honest conversation
- The first step toward making mental health ministry part of your church’s DNA.
This workshop isn’t about providing all the answers; rather, it’s about helping you cultivate a caring community where mental health is no longer a taboo topic but part of our shared journey. Come join us in this important exploration.
