The Sanctuary Course for Catholics
How can a church become a sanctuary—a place where individuals living with mental health
challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging? The Sanctuary Course for Catholics was created to inspire and equip communities of faith that are asking this important question. Developed in consultation with mental health professionals, theologians, and people with lived experience, this eight-session study guide explores key mental health topics and examines meaningful ways to offer companionship, support recovery, and promote wellbeing.

Whole Hearted – Catholic Charities USA
Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) has launched Whole Hearted, a parish-based trauma-awareness resource that integrates spirituality and religious practices with behavioral health. 
Whole Hearted can be a powerful resource for communities recovering from trauma.
While not intended to be used in place of clinical or professional therapy, Whole Hearted informs participants of trauma’s impact and how one might begin to move forward from it both mentally and spiritually.
