Soul Shop for Black Churches is a one-day workshop designed for clergy, staff, lay pastors, and faith-based clinicians in the Black Church. Given the prominence of the church within Black communities, Soul Shop for Black Churches equips these leaders who are on the front lines of the mental health crisis to minister to those impacted by all the faces of trauma and struggle with regard to suicide.
Soul Shop for Black Churches focuses on:
- The role of societal discrimination in suicide rates among Black and brown young people
- The prominent role of the church in Black communities and how it can be leveraged for a positive impact related to suicide prevention and loss and healing
- Statistics, trends and rates of suicide among people of color
- Challenges of and ideas for engaging issues of mental health and suicide in Black churches
After the training, the participants will be able to address issues related to mental health and suicide prevention as a regular aspect of their life and work.
This special workshop is brought to you by Greater Mental Health of New York, AFSP Hudson Valley/Westchester, the Soul Shop movement, and Calvary Baptist Church of Rockland.
