Addressing Mental Health Needs

In response to the growing mental health needs within the Church and society, our Ph.D. program equips students to become leaders and creative consultants. Pastors, staff, and individuals often face limited resources for mental health support that align with their Christian beliefs. The global pandemic has intensified these concerns, especially among marginalized populations.
