Practicing Welcome: Hospitality and Advocacy Amidst Mental Health Realities

Presenter: Jeff Neven, Steve Rolfe and Lynda Tracy

Homestead Christian Care and First Hamilton CRC are partnering to explore how churches can respond well to mental health realities within the congregation and in the broader community. Come hear their story and explore with them what the broader implications might be.

 

Churches are meant to be places of welcome and belonging. Sometimes they can present challenges to persons with Mental Health issues as they work to remain or become members of the community. Stigma and discrimination remain barriers to allowing people to participate fully in the Church community. The partnership between Homestead Christian Care and First Hamilton Christian Reformed Church will be used to facilitate discussion that will assist your church with becoming a place of welcome.
