Join Us for the MMBB Cares Webinar on October 15!

MMBB Cares: Helping Clergy Address Their Mental Health and Vocational Wellbeing Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 7:00 PM EST on Zoom MMBB Cares is designed for clergy and their families to receive the critical mental health and wellness resources they need to effectively minister to their religious communities. It was borne out of the realization that mental illness is one of the most severe difficulties the pandemic has exacerbated for pastoral leaders. We know that ministry is stressful, and those who need support the most often are the most reluctant to ask for help. MMBB Cares provides clergy who need guidance and support with options to receive mental health counseling or vocational coaching services. Click here to register.
