This year we have launched The Big Christian Mental Health campaign to enable Christians all over the country to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

With your help we can break the taboo, remove the stigma, and normalise Christ-centred mental health and wellbeing support.

Throughout the campaign we will create over a hundred new resources, train hundreds of churches and deliver one-to-one counselling, coaching and mentoring sessions.

All for free. All in response to the mental health crisis our country, and our churches, are facing.
