Introduction

​

Mission brings us into contact with those struggling with serious mental health difficulties, addiction, and the effects of trauma. It can be difficult to know how to love these people well. The Faith in Mind project will educate, inspire, and equip you. 

 

Sunderland churches are involved with missional projects relating to homelessness and food poverty. These activities bring church leaders and volunteers into contact with those who struggle with mental ill-health, addiction, and other complex challenges. This project will educate, equip, and inspire Christians in Sunderland through engagement with neuroscience and psychology. 

 

The Workshops

The Faith in Mind project will run 2 workshops exploring trauma, addiction, and related topics, and provide opportunities to reflect on how this is relevant to our faith and to missional work with some of the most vulnerable in our communities.

Alongside the workshops, we are running a mentoring programme, open to individuals whose work or ministry involves them in working closely with vulnerable individuals
