This course is for clergy and laity who are serving persons with mental health issues. The two-week course will equip learners to engage those who suffer, battle, and overcome this misunderstood condition, destigmatizing the issue without simplifying it. Participants will explore what mental illness is and how it is experienced, will examine the complexity of response to those with mental illness, and will challenge biases toward those with mental illnesses.
Learners will need to obtain this book: Troubled Minds: Mental Illness and the Church’s Mission by Amy Simpson
This course is eligible for 1.0 CEU.
