Learn Mental Health Basics
Are you or your church just getting started and wanting to learn the basic framework of mental health conditions and how to proactively care for yourself or your church body?
Ready to Start Training
If you are already aware of the mental health needs in your church, but feel ill-equipped to address these situations and crises, Beacon of Light offers propriety training on a variety of topics.
Start a Mental Health Ministry
Is your church ready to take on a wider scope and establish a mental health ministry? Becoming a Beacon of Light church partner offers you full access to our strategic and propriety program.

Often it is pastors themselves that recognize they have a need for encouragement, coaching and direction to develop their own mental health. We understand and value the importance of caring for our pastors.
