MENTAL
WELLNESS STRATEGY LAUNCHED BY BUC HEALTH MINISTRIES DEPARTMENT
A Mental
Wellness Handbook has been released to support churches in raising
mental health awareness and encourage emotional healing and wellbeing.
C.A.R.E
C.A.R.E is an acronym for: C ompassionate
A ction for the R estoration and E
ncouragement of individuals. Recognising the need to address emotional
wellbeing as a key aspect of our journey through life, CARE
exists both as a supportive outlet for challenging times and a tool for
encouragement. It is a network ministry which seeks to harness the support,
understanding and skills of individuals and other agencies to assist those who
are facing crisis and life challenges.
As part of the Mental Wellness Strategy recently launched by the BUC Health
Ministries department, Sharon Platt-McDonald BUC Health Director developed the
C.A.R.E network as a practical tool to aid individuals in
offering a range of options and resources to enhance emotional and spiritual
wellbeing.
There are three key aspects to C.A.R.E :
• prayer ministry (including prayer requests and testimonies to answered
prayer)
• support ministry (including resources, and details of relevant referral
agencies)
• affirmation cards (a range of inspirational cards to encourage and affirm
individuals)
We invite you to visiti our C.A.R.E website and utilize the identified
resources.
It is my prayer that as you access the resources from C.A.R.E. you will find
direction, strength and comfort as you face life's challenges and assist others
in doing so.
