SUMMARY:Share Your Voice: Faith & Mental Health Survey

We’re inviting congregants and pastoral leaders (18+\, identifying as Black\, attending a Christian church with predominantly Black leadership) to complete a brief\, anonymous 10–15 minute online survey. Your voice can help us better understand how faith communities support mental health and where additional resources might help. All responses are confidential and non-identifiable. \nLink to Survey: https://neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1yTT0sAns2Qunjw

SUMMARY:Information and Opportunities for Youth and Teen Trauma Healing
DESCRIPTION:  \nOverview \nOnline session to learn more about resources available from the American Bible Society to help youth and teens heal from wounds of the heart. \nDetails: Trauma knows no boundaries of nationality\, gender\, age\, social class\, or race. We all live in a fallen world and groan inwardly from the painful consequences of the fall.  Children and teens are very vulnerable and deserve special attention and healing.  The The Church is uniquely called to this mission field – it provides a theology for suffering\, a community bound together in love\, access to a God who is willing to hear our honest laments\, and a Savior who knows what unjust suffering feels like and whose death on the cross heals the broken-hearted and forgives their sins. \nThis informational session will include: \n\nAn overview of the Trauma Healing program.\nThe various resources available from the American Bible Society specific for teens and youth.\nTime to determine the need and response for your church\, organization\, or group.\nInformation about the Children’s Trauma Healing Facilitator training in August and next steps for the Teen programs available.\n\nWho should attend this Information Session? \nThis meeting is for people who want to know more about the material available to help youth and teens process past heart wounds\, the Trauma Healing Institute’s approach to trauma healing\, and how to move forward in helping our younger generations heal from trauma. \nImportant Information: \n\nRegistration deadline is Tuesday\, August 10 at noon.\nAttending the entire session is highly recommended and appreciated.\nThis session will take place on Zoom; a link will be sent to you in an introductory email by Monday August 10th.\nPlease contact Jennie Fournier at jennie@bostoncollaborative.org directly with any questions.\n\nAmerican Bible Society would like to thank the generous financial partners who have made this event possible. \nRegister here to receive the zoom link. \n  \n
