However, access to mental health services is not equitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access is often determined by income, where you live, awareness of local services, education about mental health and illness, and the stigma surrounding mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congregations and community partnerships are vital to improving the use of mental health services and reducing its stigma. We regularly hear that congregations need tools to help address these needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For use during Advent or Ordinary Time, the <em>Journey Toward Mental Wellness <\/em>sermon guide and toolkit was designed to help faith leaders begin meaningful conversations on the importance of mental health. In this sermon guide, we define mental health as something we all have. It\u2019s a person\u2019s psychological and emotional well-being. Having great physical, spiritual, and mental health is key to ensuring that communities thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this toolkit, you will find resources on connecting others to behavioral health services. You will also find sermons on mental health and exercises to start thoughtful discussion with your congregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, we hope this guide will help your congregation create a stigma-free, supportive environment that will encourage those affected to seek help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeef1\"><strong>Downloads:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/healthfund.org\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/UMHMF-Mental-Health-Sermon-Guide.pdf\">Sermon Guide and Toolkit<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/healthfund.org\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bulletin-Week-1.pdf\">Bulletin Insert 1<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/healthfund.org\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bulletin-Week-2.pdf\">Bulletin Insert 2<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/healthfund.org\/a\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bulletin-Week-3.pdf\">Bulletin Insert 3<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>We\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/strong>&nbsp;Did you use the sermon guide and\/or toolkit?
