Caregivers

Being Honest with Ourselves as Caregivers

Caring for others, whether we are formal or informal caregivers, can be challenging and difficult.  Although there are many moments of joy, and many gifts to be received, there are also many trials and tribulations to be endured.  Currently, we have seen these caregiving challenges augmented greatly while living through a worldwide pandemic.

Living Works - A course about suicide for faith leaders

“The online LivingWorks Faith course is a tremendous resource for faith leaders. It is very interactive, helping participants think through and reflect on the role of suicide in faith communities. I highly recommend any faith leader who works in some way or another with parishioners to consider taking the course.”  - Chris Miller, Chair of the NCPD Council on Mental Illness
