About Clergy Reflections on Mental Health

Picture
​​Clergy Reflections on Mental Health is an interfaith blog that offers wisdom, encouragement, and motivation for faith communities. The Clergy Blog Task Force allows clergy to share their connection to mental health through their stories and ministry experiences.

*  Our mission is to offer multiple perspectives on how faith communities can reduce stigma around mental health and offer hope for all.

*  Contributors provide examples and ideas of how our different faith communities address our mental health challenges, navigating crucial topics each month.

*  The written experiences that our clergy contributors share allow other faith leaders to hopefully feel less alone in dealing with mental health issues.
