Join us for Soul Shop™ for Leaders - an interactive, one-day workshop designed to equip clergy, staff, lay pastors, clinicians, and other leaders of faith with how to minister to those impacted by suicide and suicidal desperation. This includes the creation of worship resource, training congregation members in suicide awareness and basic conversation skills, and how to extend the invitation to those who have been suicidal in the past to share their stories. This workshop engages the question of how to cultivate soul-safe cultures within congregations.
At Soul Shop™, attendees will learn:
- How to prevent suicide in your community
- The signs of suicide risk and warning signs
- How to ask a person at risk if they might be thinking about suicide
- How to be a companion to those experiencing suicide loss
- About local and national resources available for suicide prevention
- What the Bible has to say about suicide
- How to integrate suicide prevention into the life and ministry of the church
Suicide is a public health crisis which requires our communities to respond. We believe all congregations are well situated to be significant sources of hope and healing for those impacted by suicide, and Soul Shop™ trains leaders how.
