“The greatest mass of [people] lead lives of quiet desperation”
Our goal is to move from quiet desperation to honest conversation. It’s estimated in a congregation of 200 adults that 12 are likely to be considering suicide and 3 out of 20 high school students at any time. As those who minister, we are well situated to be significant sources of hope and healing for those impacted by mental health illnesses and suicide. In this interactive Lunch-n-Learn workshop, we will discuss how hopelessness shows up in the world, how to build and cultivate a soul-safe community and you will learn ways to minister to those impacted by mental illness and suicide.
