I will be speaking on:
Understanding and Identifying Mental Health Issues
Coping with Toxic Stress: Strategies for Church Leaders to Heal from Burnout
During this talk, Ann-Marie will explain what toxic stress is, how to recognize the signs, and how to take care of your mental health by looking at your nervous system. Ann-Marie will normalize why ministry leaders are so vulnerable to living with hidden stress, and will provide hope along with very practical tools to mitigate burnout. These tools will be directly useful for ministry leaders, as well as for the people they care for.
