Melanie Cave chats with Corin Pillings, the Director of Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries in the UK, about how churches can become places of support, understanding, and connection for those facing mental health challenges.
Drawing from personal stories and Sanctuary’s mission, Corin shares practical advice on how faith leaders and communities can approach mental health with compassion and wisdom. Together, we explore theological perspectives such as Shalom and Suffering, and how these insights can enrich our understanding and support of well-being within church settings.
Whether you're a church leader looking to guide your congregation or someone interested in the role of faith in mental health support, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives and actionable resources to help make a difference in your community.
