Ministry leaders often face complex emotional and behavioral crises, making it difficult to know when to refer individuals to a Biblical counselor versus a licensed mental health professional. This session provides a practical framework to understand the distinct roles of each, with a specific focus on how mental health concerns impact that crucial referral process. We will explore how to address both mental health and spiritual needs simultaneously, emphasizing the ongoing role of the local church in long-term discipleship. Attendees will leave with a take-home decision matrix to confidently navigate these complex needs and ensure families receive the appropriate level of holistic care.
