The 13th Global Ecumenical Health Network Meeting, a vital platform for ecumenical partners to unite in addressing health challenges, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to convene.
The forthcoming meeting will center on key discussions, including the opportunities and obstacles faced by faith communities in the realm of mental health engagement. Additionally, the event will witness the introduction of “Resilient Life Rhythm” pamphlets, offering Christian perspectives on mental health. Furthermore, it will provide insights into the practical experiences of church-led mental health initiatives, with a focus on South Africa.
This collaborative discourse will be enriched by a diverse group of participants, comprising Christian health associations, regional ecumenical organizations, and attendees from the 2021 contextual Bible study workshops. Together, they will underscore the significance of recognizing mental health as a universal human right.
