Mental Health Toolkit
In order to help fulfill our mission to advance Gospel sharing and promote mental wellness that silences the stigma of mental illness, The Lutheran Foundation has prepared the Look Up Mental Health Toolkit for congregations to use during Mental Health Awareness Month in May. We hope that it will be a blessing to you to have these ready-made materials at your fingertips. Even though these materials were created with Mental Health Awareness Month in mind, much of the information in this toolkit can be used at any time during the year as your congregation promotes mental wellness and strives to reach out to those living with mental illness.
