Church Assessment Activity Let's take a moment to answer the following assessment about our churches’ response to mental health. There are many questions we must consider in our response to this. How can we put this into practice? Are there people in your church who need practical help? What can you do to support them practically? How might we support them spiritually? How can we as a church body create a safer space to talk together about our experiences of mental health challenges? What does a safe church community look like?.
