This week, we’re naming the heaviness of what it means to serve in a care-based vocation. We hold stories of grief and celebration, navigate complex dynamics, and try to remain faithful in contexts that are often under-resourced and deeply in flux. And it’s hard work.

Our Ministry Forum team is working on something to help in this area — the Listening Support Network - which you can read more about in our companion post. This is an area of ministy we are deeply passionate about and one we’ve talked about before. Below is a post we shared a while back and for this week’s theme of “finding support” we decided to revisit with a few updated resources you can dig into today.

We hope something here will help you tend your own soul, support those around you, and maybe even discern new ways to give back.

Some guidance on selecting mental health services that align with individual needs, cultural, and faith backgrounds including resources for therapy and highlighting the importance of tailored approaches.
