Sanctuary at Sardis

Join us this February

The Sanctuary Course equips churches as they seek to become sanctuaries where people with mental health challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging. Designed as a study guide for small groups, the course offers participants the opportunity to redefine their understanding of mental health, learn about various experiences of mental illness, consider the impact of stigma, explore the process of recovery, discover the importance of companionship, reflect on the experience of caregiving, and examine self-care practices. Each session is accompanied by a compelling film that features the story of a Christian with lived experience of a mental health challenge, along with the insights of church leaders, theologians, and mental health professionals.

Join us for 8 Tuesday nights of discussion and learning
on these topics:

1. Mental Health
2. Mental Illnesses
3. Stigma
4. Recovery
5. Companionship
6. Caregiving
7. Self-Care
8. Reflection
