Soul Shop for the Black Church

Soul Shop™ for Black Churches - White Plains, NY

Soul Shop™ for Black Churches is a one-day workshop designed for clergy, staff, lay pastors, and faith-based clinicians in the Black Church. Given the prominence of the church within Black communities, Soul Shop equips these leaders who are on the front lines of the mental health crisis to minister to those impacted by all the faces of trauma and struggle in regards to suicide.

This workshop will provide you with resources and tools to train congregation members in suicide awareness and basic conversation skills, and then how to extend the invitation to those who have been suicidal in the past to share their stories. This workshop engages the question of how to cultivate a soul-safe culture within your congregation.

Lunch is provided and all attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Audience: For faith community leaders, both paid and lay/volunteer

Time Commitment: 1 day
