We offer a range of training as we realise all Churches and Christian organisations are different and need different solutions to the challenges they are facing. This is why we have developed online courses that can be done by individuals at their own pace as well as the whole church training days that we come to you to deliver.
All of our training is built on our SEES model which stands for
S for Spot – What can we notice when someone’s mental health is declining? Who might be at more risk of mental health issues? How can we make sure people who are struggling are getting the support they need?
E for Engage – How can we start a conversation with someone who we are worried about? What might put them off opening up?
E for Encourage – What can we encourage them to do to take care of their physical, mental and spiritual health?
S for Support – What are the practical things we can do as a church to help someone experiencing poor mental health? How can we support them emotionally? Is there anything we need to change in our church to allow them to participate more fully?
Our Church Mental Health Days, are for everyone in the church. We believe that people with mental health issues are best supported when the whole church is involved, and it’s not just left to a few key individuals.
We come to you and run a day of teaching to help you think about how your church can offer practical, emotional and spiritual support, by exploring real-life situations using case studies, discussion and group activities.
Our Church Champion course takes a deeper look at the issues people in our churches might be experiencing. It is for those who are more involved in helping those with mental health struggles.
The course is built to be a library of information that you can dip into to help you find what you need when you need it. It also comes with an online community where you can ask any questions and get support for yourself as you help others.
Children's Mental Health Awareness for Churches is a self-paced online course designed to equip church leaders, children’s workers, teachers, volunteers, and parents with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, respond to, and support children’s mental health needs within a Christian context.
Across a series of practical, easy-to-follow modules, you will learn how to spot early signs of emotional distress, have sensitive, age-appropriate conversations, and create safe, inclusive church environments where every child feels seen, valued, and heard.
