Addressing The Stigma: Equipping Parishes To Bridge Faith And Mental Health
Saturday | October 12th | 9:30am - 12:30pm | St. Matthew’s Parish, Surrey | $10
Mental health is more and more “on the radar” in our culture as both awareness of the topic and the challenges many people experience increase. The media gives more attention to this topic and our schools are often spaces where mental health takes a prominence. However, sometimes as a Church or parish there can be uncertainty about how to engage well with this topic. And the need is increasing.
If you’d like to be a part of the movement towards a Church culture that has a healthy response towards mental health challenges and appropriately understands and bridges the gap between faith and mental health, please join us on October 12th as we take a deeper dive into the topic and invite you to consider how you could be a part of moving the needle forward within your own parish.
Saturday, October 12 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at St. Matthew's Parish in Surrey. Registration is $10.Learn more and register at behondvancouver/events.
