Sanctuary Course for Catholics (Faith & Mental Health)
Registration for this program has closed.  Please contact adultformation@silcc.org for information.
One in four people will be affected by a mental health problem at some point in their lives, yet the stigma surrounding mental illness silences many and prevents faith communities from responding compassionately and effectively. This eight-session course explores the realities of mental health and illness, as well as the vital need for faith-based community conversations about these topics. This series is offered in partnership with Rejoice Counseling. NOTE: This program is not a substitute for counseling services or mental health care. Those suffering with mental illness are encouraged to contact a mental health professional.
