Promoting Mental Health During and After COVID-19: Tools for Faith Leaders

Mental Health Toolkit for Faith and Community Leaders

Faith and community leaders can use this Toolkit to understand mental health needs, how to access mental health resources, and concrete actions to take immediately and year-round to support yourselves and your communities.

This toolkit was developed as a conversation between faith leaders, including the Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) and New York Disaster Interfaith Services (NYDIS), and the Mayor’s Office of ThriveNYC. Throughout, NYDIS offers information on how mental health challenges may manifest in faith communities during and following a disaster, and ThriveNYC provides information on free mental health resources available to help.

 

Webinars on the role of faith communities in promoting mental health following a disaster

Join us for virtual conversations that will bring together leaders from diverse faith traditions to discuss the lessons in the Mental Health Toolkit for Faith and Community Leaders, including strategies and resources to help faith leaders better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the mental health of your faith community. A partnership between the Interfaith Center of New York, New York Disaster Interfaith Services, and the Mayor’s Office of ThriveNYC, these free webinars will also offer faith leaders an opportunity to support and learn from one another.
