Because religion and spirituality often play a vital role in healing, it’s not uncommon for families and individuals experiencing mental health issues to turn to a faith leader first for help. Yet faith leaders, staff and key outreach volunteers are often lacking the information, education, and resources to be the “bridge to hope” needed as people navigate serious, sometimes life-threatening, mental health issues. This 3-hour FREE workshop will include:

1) An informative overview of prevalent mental health myths and common symptoms of mental health disorders
2) Simple ideas for building “bridges to hope” for your faith community
3) A tool kit of community mental health resources
4) A tool for developing an action plan to address the needs in your community and optional post-training support
