12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year What is the church's role
in suicide prevention? While we tend to view the work of suicide
prevention as the task of professional therapists and doctors, the
church can also play a vital role. Studies show that religious
faith is an important factor reducing the risk of suicide. Yet many
pastors, chaplains and pastoral counselors feel overwhelmed and
unprepared to prevent suicides. In this practical handbook,
psychologist Karen Mason equips ministry professionals to work with
suicidal individuals. Integrating theology and psychology, she
shows how pastoral caregivers can be agents of hope, teaching the
significance of life, monitoring those at risk and intervening when
they need help. Because church leaders are often present in
people's lives in seasons of trouble and times of crisis, they can
provide comfort in the midst of suffering and offer guidance for
the future. When our church members struggle in the darkness, the
darkness need not overcome them. Discover how you and your church
can be proactive in caring for those at risk of self-harm.
