Online church mental health workshops 

Increase your confidence in the way you support people with their mental health in your church. We have taken our one-day Church Mental Health workshop which we have delivered to whole congregations and turned it into an online workshop that you can do from your own home. 

This interactive workshop is for anyone who is part of a church and wants to make a difference to how well their congregation supports people with mental health issues. 

It is taught online by experienced mental health trainers in small groups so that you can ask questions and get involved with all the activities to help you get practical and tailored answers for your church setting.  Whether you come from a big church with a huge outreach programme, or a small village church that is trying to serve it's local community, there are ways you can encourage and support those who are struggling.

The timings for our online training are

• 9:30am - 10:40am - Session 1
• 10:50am - 12:10pm - Session 2
• 1:00pm - 2:50pm - Session 3

During this time we cover

• What is mental health?
• What is the difference between mental and spiritual health?
• What protective and risk factors are there for mental illness?
• Stigma and beliefs about mental illness in church?
• Spot – how do we notice that someone is struggling with their mental health?
• Engage – how can we start to have conversations around mental health?
• Encourage – how can we encourage them to maximise their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing?
• Support – How can we support them practically, emotionally, and spiritually?
• How do we put this into practice in your church?

We do this using a range of case studies, discussions, videos, and group work. So there is something for everyone to get involved in and understand more about what poor mental health looks like and how they can support those experiencing it.
