2023 Theme "Unashamed"
Theme: The theme that the Holy Spirit gave for the 2023 Summit is “Unashamed.” Mental Health Awareness in the Church is continuing to change but there is still work to be done. Many people are still among us who are ashamed daily for the condition of their Mental Health. Christ loves us unconditionally and He cares about every area of our lives including the condition of our Mental Health and He wants his people to become "Unashamed" of their struggles, so that they can heal and break free from condemnation.
This event will help Christians, Christian Leaders, Mental Health Providers, and Life Coaches have strategies, tools, and resources that will impact their families, work, communities, and their individual lives.
As an attendee of this event, expect to hear from powerful speakers, participate in giveaways, handouts, relevant training sessions, networking opportunities, community and so much more.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Just as God is three in one-Creator, Christ, Holy Spirit-humans were created as three parts: body, mind, and spirit.
In the Word of God, it says that Jesus Wept three different times. That’s in John 11:35, Luke 19:41, and Hebrews 5:7-9. Specifically, in John 11:35 Jesus weeps for several reasons. He wept at the death of Lazarus and He wept because the people were heartbroken. This scripture is only one example of how compassionate Jesus is towards us and He cares about your Mental Health as well.
Ecclesiastes 3 explains to us how there is a Season for Everything. Specifically, Ecclesiastes 3:4 says…a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. This chapter shows us how we go through different seasons in life and the Word of God encourages us to seek wise counsel in reference to life matters.

Topic:
It's Not Your Shame! Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking
Shame is an emotion that may rise out of self-condemnation, thoughts of worthlessness, and even regret. Human trafficking, which includes repeated forms of sexual assault, is a criminal process that victimizes persons across diverse ages and groups. Promoting mental wellness is a key factor in confronting the impact of human trafficking and shame. Attendees will gain insight about the intersections of human trafficking and sexual assault, learn mental wellness and faith building strategies, and empowerment through realizing that It's Not Your Shame!

Topic:
Becoming Unashamed of My Grief Process
Grief is a normal part of life, but it is also one of the most painful experiences one can have. During the grieving process we offer wonder, are my grief symptoms normal or abnormal, am I becoming depressed, am I crazy, how do I adjust? Have God forgotten about me? And the list goes on. In this session, we will discuss the different types of grief, understand what is normal and when to seek out professional help, discuss healthy and unhealthy ways of coping, revive your faith, and become unashamed of the grief process!

Topic:
Unashamed of Parenting Through My Trauma
When we partner with God and Mental Health Professionals, we become a living testament of a restored life. I have accepted the assignment to teach other women how to parent through their trauma. The battle wounds inflicted on you from childhood and/or adulthood don't have to be the sum total of your life. In this session, we will learn how to identify unhealthy patterns that affect mother/daughter relationships and learn healthy coping skills that can help you, your client, or lay member of your congregation to develop a better relationship with your daughter. We will also explore examples in the Bible of what God says about who we are and what we are capable of doing in and through Him.

Topic:
Breaking the Shame of Pornography Addiction
The Body of Christ has its share of taboo topics, and addiction to pornography has been one of the many areas that many believers have a hard time discussing due to shame. According to Mission Frontiers, 70% of Christian youth pastors report that they have had at least one teen come to them for help in dealing with pornography addiction, of young Christian adults 18-24 years old, 76% actively search for porn on the internet, and 33% of women aged 25 and under search for porn at least once per month. These are only a few statistics and the reality of how pornography addictions are affecting believers every day. Our goal is to provide you with education and strategy, and to help you, your client, or a lay member of your church congregation to effectively address pornography addictions while becoming unashamed and restored.
