EHF Mental Health Learning Network Series | June 2023

In 2023, the Congregational Engagement Team will offer a virtual Mental Health Learning Network Series to support congregations as they promote mental health in their communities. The Learning Network is the next step for Episcopal congregations looking for imaginative ways to connect, deepen strategies for promoting mental health and well-being, and gain experience using virtual meeting platforms to invite meaningful conversation.

The sessions will have two primary goals:
1) Increasing participants’ knowledge related to mental health and well-being, particularly through the lens of social justice; and

2) Building connections across congregations in Texas with similar interests in promoting congregational and community well-being.

Session 2 | June 6, 2023

Join us for the June 6th Mental Health Learning Network session as we explore the critical topic of children’s mental health. In this interactive session, we’ll dive into an orientation on brain development and the impact of trauma, and provide an in-depth review of the most recent data on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and youth mental health, including the troubling increase in suicidality. We’ll also share preliminary outcomes of the Texas Legislative Session that directly impact child and youth mental health and highlight valuable resources and supports available in local communities throughout Texas. Don’t miss this informative and vital conversation on children’s mental health.
