EHF Mental Health Learning Network
Hosted by the EHF Congregational Engagement Team and mental health partners Lynda Frost and Anna Jackson
The Episcopal Health Foundation invites you to take part in a Learning Community composed of a series of 75-minute sessions aimed at exploring how we can create connection and promote the mental health and well-being of people in our communities and congregations.
Deep Listening: A Skill-Building Session
Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Time: 12:00PM – 1:15PM CT
As we continue to navigate polarization in our communities and families, we find that our ability to navigate complex – often fraught – conversations is increasingly important. While listening is just one dimension of meaningful dialogue, it is a fundamental aspect of building trust across differences. In this learning session, we’ll dive into the practice of deep listening, a foundational skill in the development of spaces that emphasize belonging and support mental well-being. Through interactive exercises and guided discussion, participants will learn methods to practice listening with presence and reflecting in ways that show the speaker has been truly heard. Participants will leave with practical strategies to share with others and that can be applied in their daily interactions, enabling them to become more attentive, present listeners over time.
Please join us and invite others from your congregations or community!
