Spiritual Support Group for Mental Health and Wellness Guidelines

Rev. Alan Johnson

Starting a Mental Health Spiritual Support Group

Description

One of the significant programs which congregations can provide is a safe and sacred setting in which persons who are affected by mental health challenges can find support.  Stigma prevents many from finding help and isolation is a sorrowful consequence.  This workshop will offer specific steps to start a spiritual support group as well as address the questions which come up.
