How can a church become a sanctuary where individuals living with mental health challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging? The Sanctuary Course for Catholics was created to inspire and equip communities of faith that are asking this important question. This eight-session course explores key mental health topics and examines meaningful ways to offer companionship, support recovery, and promote well-being. It is designed to raise awareness and start conversations in our parish regarding mental health.

The Sanctuary Course for Catholics is for anyone age 18+ who wants to learn about faith and mental health. It requires no previous training or expertise—just a willingness to engage in dialogue with other believers. This course and films address difficult and sensitive topics and may not be appropriate for a young audience.
