Mental Health Task Force Members
About the Task Force
The Bishop’s Mental Health Task Force is a group of clergy and laity tasked with finding ways to fulfill the challenge set forth in the resolution on Mental Illness approved at Annual Conference 2017. We are charged by Bishop Laurie to discern ways that UMC churches of Iowa can be in better ministry to those living with mental illness.
Our first efforts were focused on encouraging participation in Mental Health First Aid training for clergy and laity throughout the conference. Additional energy is being focused on gathering stories and finding meaningful ways to share those stories, as well as in identifying and developing partnerships with others engaged in this important work.
