A Timely Opportunity to Support Our Next Generation

During this practical workshop, Yen Lee, MSW, RSW, will help us explore:

The difference between mental health and mental illness

Early signs that a child, youth, or young adult may be struggling

Ways to reduce mental health stigma within the church

Practical approaches to incident response and de-escalation

Appropriate safety, confidentiality, and pastoral-care boundaries

Steps for referral, follow-up, and ongoing support

How to build a stronger “Circle of Support” involving families, church leaders, and mental health professionals.

Participants will also be introduced to practical frameworks such as ONE CALL, which emphasizes observing, noticing, exploring, connecting, asking, listening, and linking, as well as the 6Rs of Connection: Receive, Relax, Reframe, Redirect, Refer, and Record.
