The faith leader is uniquely positioned to help in the ministry of healing...so we recognize that there is a mixture of faith leaders in our communities, some who have training and many who don't have training in mental health issues or social, emotional issues.
What happens when faith leaders take a stand against suicide? In this eye-opening episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos engages with Travis Baer, a licensed clinical social worker with Family Services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Benee Larson, the Program Director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Utah. They dive into the unique challenges and significant impact faith leaders can have in preventing suicides within their communities.
From breaking down mental health stigma to recognizing subtle signs of suicidal ideation, this discussion covers it all. Travis and Benee share real-world experiences and practical advice, shedding light on how faith leaders can become beacons of hope and support. Whether you're a faith leader yourself or someone looking to understand their pivotal role in mental health, this episode offers valuable insights that are both thought-provoking and actionable.
