How to Promote the Mental & Emotional Health of Your Ministry Staff
A spiritually, emotionally, and mentally healthy staff is paramount for effective ministry work. When a ministry is viewed as not just a job, but a "calling," it can lead to burnout and emotional strain unless proper tools and resources are in place. In this webinar, Rick Huls, a licensed mental health professional, and HRMS CEO & Managing Partner, Justin Romine, discuss practical tools and best practices to promote and maintain a healthy ministry staff.
Understanding the Problem:
The webinar explores the trends and contributing factors to declining mental and emotional health among ministry staff and pastors. It acknowledges that while ministry is rewarding, the unique pressures and expectations can lead to burnout and stress.
Protecting Yourself and Your Team:
Rick and Justin offer practical advice for both individual staff members and ministry organizations. This includes:
For Individuals: Learn best practices to protect your own mental and emotional well-being, from setting boundaries to seeking support.
For Organizations: Discover tangible items churches and ministry leaders should implement to protect their staff. The conversation highlights resources like Shepherd's Canyon, which provides a safe retreat and counseling for ministry leaders facing burnout.
This webinar is an essential guide for anyone who wants to create a supportive and healthy environment for ministry staff, ensuring their well-being is as much a priority as the mission they serve.
