 ​ FCMI Annual Conference    
In the spring of the year from 2011-2021, Faith Connections on Mental Illness hosted a day-long annual conference featuring nationally recognized experts to address issues associated with faith and mental illness. Attendance averaged 250 clergy, laypersons, mental health professionals, and other individuals interested in the topics.  Optional Continuing Education Credits were offered by Wake AHEC.

The 2020 conference was cancelled (due to Covid-19) and replaced by a virtual event in 2021.  


Just as the world has recalibrated how things are done in light of the challenges presented by Covid-19, FCMI is likewise reviewing how to best serve our community following the three mission pillars of Advocacy, Support, and Education. Monthly Connectors' Programs transitions to bi-monthly Zoom gatherings, allowing attendance for those with geographic and time availability obstacles.  

Our recent foci have been 1) Youth Support/Outreach; 2) Suicide Awareness/Education/Prevention; and 3) Resource Sharing.  We invited you to join us in this next step in our journey in fulfilling our mission of connecting across faiths in mental health ministry.
