Suicide and the Church

When someone is struggling with suicidal thoughts, they may turn to a pastor, small group leader, ministry volunteer, or trusted friend before they ever reach a mental health professional. What happens in that conversation matters.

This free, one-hour workshop will equip people in the church to recognize warning signs, ask important questions, respond when someone may be at risk, and connect them with appropriate help. We’ll also talk about how faith communities can respond to mental health struggles in ways that reduce shame and create space for honesty, compassion, and hope.

You don’t have to be a counselor to care well for someone who is hurting. You simply need to be willing to notice, listen, and know what to do next.

Come because someone in your church may one day need you to know what to do.
