​

The Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries wrote the Sanctuary Course. Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries is a faith-based Canadian non-profit, rooted in the Christian tradition. Sanctuary began in 2012 with a dream to address the gap between Church, faith, and mental health. 

 

It exists to empower the Church to engage in mental health ministries in a way that is mindful of clinical research, theological practice, and lived experience.

It helps to  develop tools, training, and resources that will enable the Church to be a sanctuary--a safe place for people suffering in their mental health. The course is the culmination of years of research, and draws from many sermons, workshops and seminars that have been deliver to churches across Canada.
