How can a church become a sanctuary - a place where individuals living with mental health challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging?
Join us for dinner, the Introduction video of the Sanctuary Mental Health Course, discussion, and Q&A with licensed psychologist and director of healing ministry, Dr. Christine Williams. The Sanctuary Course is for anyone who wants to learn about faith and mental health. It requires no previous training or expertise - just a willingness to engage in dialogue with other believers.
This course and the film address sensitive topics. It is not recommended for people 17 years old or younger. Parents, youth ministry leaders, and others are invited to attend to learn more about how to support young people or how to bring the Sanctuary Course for Youth to their community.
The Sanctuary Course is a video series, designed to raise awareness and start conversations in local churches regarding mental health. It is appropriate for:
People with questions about the Church's understanding of mental health
Mental health professionals with an interest in seeing how the Church speaks about mental health
Youth group and small group leaders who want to engage their community in mental health conversations
People supporting loved ones with mental health challenges
