As our valued friends, we wanted to let you know about a timely and important FREE virtual event coming up: the Church Mental Health Summit on October 10. We’re helping spread the word about this very needed summit, presented by Hope Made Strong and Spiritual First Aid.    The summit’s goal is to equip people as pastors, leaders, and volunteers, empowering them (and their congregations) to build a culture of care in their churches. We’d love for you to be a part of this event and share it with those in your circle. The more people who sign up and attend, the more churches and individuals we can help.    Summit participants will hear from a diverse group of speakers in four categories: Global Health, Community Health, Church Health, and Leadership Health. They’ll learn how to break down the stigma of mental health and receive resources, tools, and strategies to help better serve those with emotional distress—and the people who care about them.    Our hope is that church leaders, pastors, and volunteers will take the tools from the Church Mental Health Summit and guide their churches to become safer places for desperate people to belong, be honest about their struggles, and find healing.    For more information, visit www.churchmentalhealthsummit.com  … Information for coaching and spiritual direction can be found at www.kairospartnerships.org  We’d love to hear from you.
