I attended a very informative convention Holistic Care CHAS 80th Convention. Very nice to recognize and collect information on Catholic Health Care.
As a church, we recognize that mental health is a critical component of our overall health and well-being. The Office of Mental Health Ministry seeks to accompany those with mental health needs in our parish and school communities in a Catholic, sustainable, ethical, and meaningful way. The focus of this ministry is education, accompaniment, and advocacy.
The Office of Mental Health Ministry Is not a clinical resource and is not intended to serve as a substitute for treatment or counselling with a qualified professional. We do not diagnose or treat mental illness but rather serve as an avenue to provide literacy in mental health to promote the reduction of mental illness stigma, encourage conversations around mental illness, and create a safe environment for individuals to share and seek help surrounding their mental illness. Our mission is to help create pastoral environments where people living with mental illness can meet, share their experiences and their Catholic faith with others, and grow spiritually in their relationship with God.
