Peer Support Ministry is a facilitated virtual place where together we can cultivate a safe space to talk about our awareness and understanding of mental health. This space supports ministry leaders who are working or will be working on the frontlines of mental healthcare as public leaders. Join one or all sessions; there is no cost for participation due to the grant described below. A Zoom link will be shared before each session you register for.
