MENTAL HEALH EDUCATION
DCT HELPS CHURCHES
Mental
health education is new to many churches. Depression Connection
Team (DCT) helps program planners gain a concept of what mental
health ministry can be, and then assists in developing a plan
for their church.
DCT
RESOURCES
- A planbook that provides a step-by-step planning guide. It
is complete with educational materials needed for incorporating
mental health education into the ongoing church program.
