[Partner Event] Faith Leaders & Chaplains + Rising Mental Health Needs of Teens & Young Adults in 2020

This event is co-presented by Odyssey Impact, Chaplaincy Innovation Lab, and Interfaith Network on Mental Illness

For chaplains and faith leaders, the mental health of teens and young adults is a spiritual care issue made more urgent by the compounded chronic stress of 2020. With rising rates of suicide and mental health crises among our young people, what particular care strategies should every chaplain and every congregational leader know? Join us for a conversation with a panel of expert practitioners as we explore together how we end the shame, stigma, and silence surrounding severe mental health crises, attending also to the ways particular communities bear these burdens disproportionately.
