Kay Warren, Carey Nieuwhof, Jon Acuff, Carlos Whittaker and 40+ others to speak
ChurchCommunications.com is partnering with Medi-Share to offer a completely free virtual mental health summit for church leaders on May 21-22, 2021. The online event aims to increase awareness and education about mental health concerns in the personal lives of leaders, and the increasingly felt need found across communities during this pandemic time period. Registration is now open at ThriveandCultivate.com
A recent Barna research study on pastors’ mental and emotional well-being showed a 9x increase in pastors reporting their own mental health as “below average.” Other research shows that 31% of pastors admit to struggling with their emotional well-being, and 64% say they are “somewhat” equipped to help their congregation’s mental health.
Session talks will cover self-care for ministry leaders, and how to care for oneself while caring for a congregation and community on Day 1 of the 2-day event.
Day 2 on May 22 will offer sessions about how to address and support congregations and communities dealing with mental health concerns.
This event will have over 30 speakers that are qualified mental health professionals, church leaders, and non-clinical professionals such as:
- Kay Warren
- Carey Nieuwhof
- Jon Acuff
- Dr. Crystal Collier
- Carlos Wittaker
- William Vanderbloemen
- and 30+ other speakers
