Lifting the lid off mental health
Helping churches to build a culture of mental health awareness is the focus of a new campaign
A leading mental health charity has launched a resource to help churches build a culture of mental health awareness.
Livability, a disability charity that seeks to connect people to their communities, has launched a ‘Lifting the lid’ initiative to help churches explore the topics of emotional wellbeing.
The ‘Lifting the lid’ resource has been created with small groups in mind, drawing on well-known Bible stories to open up discussions on a key topic.
The charity sees churches as key to supporting and resourcing their communities effectively, and recognises the important and effective work that churches, including the Religious Society of Friends, carry out in mental health.
The aim with ‘Lifting the lid’ is to help churches to create listening communities that are welcoming, understanding and offer ways to participate.
