The Sanctuary Course

BEGINS SEPTEMBER 16

How can a church become a sanctuary—a place where individuals living with mental health challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging? The Sanctuary Course was created to inspire and equip communities of faith that are asking this important question.

Developed in consultation with mental health professionals, theologians, this group explores key mental health topics and examines meaningful ways to offer companionship, support recovery, and promote wellbeing over nine sessions. The Sanctuary Course is for anyone who wants to learn about faith and mental health. This course and films address difficult and sensitive topics and may not be appropriate for those ages 17 and younger.
