Here’s a statistic that may surprise you: 84% of clergy have had at least one congregant ask for help with suicidal thoughts. While turning to faith leaders should be a positive experience, a real problem exists. More than half of the people in ministry settings don’t have any formal training in suicide prevention.
Suicide within our churches isn’t rare, but talking about it, understanding it, and ministering to those affected by it is.
Are you ready to change that?
Registration closes 12PM CST on January 4
