Starts this week! Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries – Sanctuary CourseSanctuary Mental Health Ministries is a Christian non-profit organization that was founded in 2012 for the purpose of equipping churches in Canada to love and support community members with lived experience of mental health challenges. The Sanctuary Course is an 8-week course that gives participants a chance to broaden their understanding of mental health from a Christian perspective. This week, our first session introduces us to the topic of Mental Health. 

Session 1: Introduction to Mental Health: We all have periods of flourishing and languishing, which offers a framework to understand mental health, mental illness and suffering. We will explore the mental health continuum (LINK HERE) and learn from a man named Matthew via video, who lives with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and primary obsessional Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Please take a look at the website HERE for a brief introduction to the program. The link to our Zoom meeting will be shared with the parish. Please contact Michelle Schurek michelle@stpauls-anglican.ca for timing.
