Mental Health Toolbox for Ministry

As counsellors we help people every day to work through personal challenges and resolve difficult issues. It’s what we are passionate about and trained to do.
But we recognise that church leaders, staff and pastoral volunteers are often a primary contact for their congregation and local community when life gets hard. So now, more than ever, churches need support to healthily manage the increasing pastoral load and needs of individuals.

These online webinars will give people in ministry the tools and strategies for implementing good mental health care in their churches. The presenter, Rev Bill Van Schie, has been in pastoral ministry for over 36 years and is also a registered Clinical Counsellor and Supervisor in private practice.
