This workshop is from the 2024 Mental Health Conference "Intergenerational Wholeness for Asian Americans: Integrative Approaches to Christian Spiritual and Mental Health Formation." My Journey with Best Practices for a Mentally Healthy Church Staff by Alex Chang, recorded on January 13, 2024. Find out more about the conference here: https://caac.ptsem.edu/events/2024-mental-health-conference/.
Abstract: This workshop will provide leaders with practical tools in order to elevate the importance of mental health for church staff. It will also weave in personal stories of how a young-ish Asian-American pastor learned to prioritize mental health for a staff that includes both ethnic and age diversity. Some of those stories will discuss seeing mental health professionals (both for personal and marital reasons), leading from the second chair, utilizing one’s own Asian-American background to connect with others, and sharing a template for best practices.
