The Church & Mental Health Challenges: Loving Neighbor As Thyself

None of us are immune or exempt from the pressures and systems adversely affecting mental well-being in our society. How is the Church to understand mental health? What does it mean for people of faith to care for those living with severe challenges? How can congregations collaborate with others in the City to do this well?  Our featured plenary speaker will be Steve Binnquist, with decades of experience serving men and women in San Francisco's tenderloin with Youth With a Mission. The plenary will offer gospel / practical perspective in both the morning and afternoon, along with two breakout sessions around related topics (congregational approaches, mental health resources and self-care). Come and participate in this conference to gain perspective, partners, and practical resources for “loving neighbor as thyself” in these fraught times. 

Registration (including lunch): General $45 / "Living Lightly" $25 / Students $15.
