What does it take to create a culture of mental health awareness in your church or organization?
The path may not be easy, but it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Jessica Cho Kim is a friend of Philadelphia Renewal Network and she helped her church (Grace Ministry NJ) participate in a mental health summit last year. Here she shares her church’s journey of learning to discuss and respond to mental health issues in their midst.
Their process:
1) Form a team of informed volunteers
2) Establish a support group
3) Create a local mental health directory
4) Support counseling for their members
5) Provide education and training
Does this fit your context?
At Phila Renewal Network, we’re standing by to talk more. But we can also get you in contact with Jessica! PRN member churches are often more than happy to share their struggles and victories with other churches and organizations.
