If so, you are one of many christians who are facing the challenges of being in relationship with someone who has mental health problems.

Dysfunctions of many kinds are caused by the ever increasing pressures life can bring whether they be financial, relational, work or ministry related. Allied health professionals are straining under the burden, so pressure is mounting on ordinary folk in families. Whether or not you want to become a qualified counsellor, receiving training to navigate the challenges of mental health can help you to become a positive influence in your personal relationships and communities.

An aifc survey of Church leaders showed that mental and emotional health was a top priority for church leaders and also one they identified as being least equipped to help address

Are you confronted with relationship challenges in your marriage, family, work,  church and in the community around you?
Can these challenges be attributed to mental and emotional health issues such as anxiety, depression, isolation and relationship issues ?
Are you interested in growing yourself and obtaining the skills and the confidence to effectively respond to the mental health issues around you?
 

Ask yourself...?
