Online Training in Pastoral Care: When Depression, Addiction, Suicide Hits Your Congregation

Three suicides and one homicide hit the body of believers in Israel in the last few years. Do we know how to listen to those who are crying out for help? Are we as leaders prepared to help even if we hear them? The Israel Academy of Ministry and Anchor of Hope Counseling Center want to help you feel confident when the temptations of depression, addiction, and suicide rise to the surface in your area of responsibility. We invite you to join us online for one evening with Katherine Snyder, Ph.D, who will be teaching on pastoral care and mental health in the congregation, and will be covering the following topics:

• Breaking the Stigma
• Creating a culture of acceptance
• Learning how to recognize signs and assess for depression, suicide, addiction
• Challenging Common Misconceptions
• Practical ways to help the person and family

Join us for our online course on zoom on June 24, 2020 from 6-8pm local Israel time. Please note that this course will be offered in English with Hebrew translation. We are excited to offer you this course for only 50 NIS.

Registration deadline is June 22, 6pm. Please email us at iam@kkm.network for more details.
