Does your church or ministry need guidance on mental health in the church?

As a mental health therapist and Christian, Brandy understands firsthand the taboo conversations that intersect between church and mental health. Oftentimes, leaders in the church may struggle with understanding where the line is drawn between pastoral care and the need for mental health expertise. She also knows how to bring forth the topic of mental health because one thing she knows is that God and mental health support can exist in the same space.

Brandy will provide training to assist your organization, staff, or leaders to establish ways to integrate mental health into how you care for the people you serve.

Depending on your church’s needs, Brandy will:

• Provide education to clergy related to mental health and how to best meet the needs of parishioners

• Training for pastoral care staff to be able to identify a mental health crisis and solicit appropriate support

• Provide community resources for church/ministry staff to be able to utilize in meeting the needs of parishioners with mental health concerns

In return, your leaders or staff will feel more confident in the way they show up for the people they serve, more capable of incorporating the discussion of mental health into the organization, and more knowledgeable in ways to support individuals needing resources beyond their expertise.
