Groups
Faith Group Leader Support Group
Faith group leaders (pastors, ministers, rabbis, etc) face particular challenges based on their vocational work. Often, the people that are around them are not people that they can go to because of the professional involvement that they have with them. This group provides the environment for peer support as well as the input of a mental health professional (who is also an ordained clergyperson) in cases where the impact has been even more significant. Join us to be with colleagues outside your normal circle. We will meet monthly.
