Care Ministry
Nuts and Bolts: Tools for Building a Culture of Care for those with Mental Health Challenges
It is common for faith communities to ask what they must do to start a mental health ministry in their congregation. While this desire is good, it can sometimes neglect the more foundational need for a broad-based culture of care. When a culture of respect, vulnerability and welcome permeates a faith community, specific ministry programs can be successful rather than stigmatizing. In this workshop, insight will be given around the tools for building such a culture within your faith community.
Course Objectives
- Discover the importance of crafting a cultural foundation as you build a mental health ministry.
- Gain tools for building a culture of care within your faith community for those facing mental health challenges.
