HOPE HEALS

Throw Out the Lifeline

When "all hope seems lost," many look for a deeper meaning and purpose to life. Those reasons have traditionally been identified within the context of spirituality. Faith communities are a source of hopefulness and healing as environmental factors begin to overwhelm individuals in a time of mental health crisis. 


Through curriculum designed specifically for faith congregations (like Soul Shop) Stop One provides training and tools to equip leadership and lay members, for soul safe communities.  

Someone is Sinking

According to Living Works, 1 in 17 adults are considering suicide at any given time. RIGHT NOW, one out of two people in most congregations are personally impacted by the reality of suicide. 


It may have been through the death of a family member, friend, or co-worker. Suicide respects no boundaries.
