Give Hope to
Mental Wellbeing
What’s the story?
The coronavirus pandemic has caused exceptionally challenging times for all of us. The effects of social distancing, isolation, school closures and unemployment have taken a huge toll on our mental health and wellbeing; and will continue to have lasting effects long after lockdown is over.
As lockdown eases, the challenges will not decrease, but the Church is well placed to step up and respond, offering people a hope for the future.
Kintsugi Hope, Sanctuary and Renew Wellbeing have been equipping churches across the country to support people in practical, spiritual and emotional ways. This has included mental wellbeing groups, wellbeing spaces and a range of resources for churches to access.
