Is your church ready to support teen mental health?

Supporting Teen Mental Health: Training for Youth Ministry Teams 

As a youth leader, we know the juggle of supporting teens’ mental health while helping volunteers feel confident navigating mental health conversations. At the same time, you may not feel you’ve been trained extensively on teen mental health or know how to equip others on this topic. 

You don’t have to be an expert to talk with teens about mental health

Supporting Teen Mental Health: Training for Youth Ministry Teams is packed with professional insight that encourages both mental health and discipleship, including stories from real young people and youth leaders. It’s designed to help youth ministry teams build confidence, shared language, and essential skills to support young people right now. 

The training includes: 

  • A powerful 45-minute video training flexible enough to use all at once or in smaller segments
  • A ready-to-use leader guide to help you facilitate with confidence
  • A discussion guide to spark honest, thoughtful conversation with your team
  • Fully customizable resources to fit your team’s unique context and schedule

Help and hope for an anxious generation

Today’s young people are anxious. Teach them they’re not alone.

Developed and field-tested in collaboration with mental health professionals and ministry leaders like you. Faith in an Anxious World is a research-based resource for everyday leaders and parents. 

Throughout this 4-week series, you’ll be equipped to help students see anxiety and its effects, develop practices for thriving, and build a community they can turn to no matter what. Lead high school students on a journey of exploration into the sources of anxiety in the world around them. Teach them a daily spiritual practice that will deepen their relationship with God. And encourage them as they build a supportive and caring community they can count on.

This 4-week multimedia curriculum will equip you with the tools you need to guide young people in your care, linking anxiety and depression with conversations about discipleship and faithful living. Together your group will reflect on New Testament stories, watch Jesus enter into anxious situations with his disciples, and explore:

  • Life in an anxious world. See and name the pressure that builds in and around us.
  • Life in a relational world. Build a circle of support for both good times and bad.
  • Life in a hurting world. Know when our feelings become more than we can handle on our own.
  • Life in a hopeful world. Recognize God at work in our anxious world.
