~ A Practical Guide, for supporting the church's mental and emotional well-being

This biblical and clinical guide will help you understand and know how to respond to mental and emotional health crises in your church, empowering you to make wise decisions as you come alongside the hurting.

Poor mental and emotional health are two of the great crises of our times, and yet most pastors and ministry leaders are not adequately trained or equipped to understand and come alongside the hurting. As a result, our efforts to help those who are wrestling with mental or emotional health struggles are at best inadequate and at worst harmful.

Combining the best of clinical research with a biblical worldview, The Mental Health Handbook for Ministry is a practical and accessible resource to help pastors, church leaders, and others who are called on to offer counsel

Identify the symptoms of particular mental and emotional health challenges

Express love and support to those who are hurting

Recommend healthy coping strategies

Discern when to offer help and when to refer someone to a mental health professional

With chapters dedicated to common manifestations of mental and emotional distress, including depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, self-harm, addiction, personality disorders, grief, and more, this will quickly become the go-to resource for ministry leaders who long to offer help to the hurting.
