Yesterday marked the launch of The Breakthrough Bundle, a program created to care for pastors who are often first responders in communities. Check it out at thebreakthroughprogram.org!
The Breakthrough: Self-Care for Pastors was created with the commitment and funding of the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, through the Mississippi Public Health Institute's Congregational Recovery Outreach Program (CROP), in partnership with Harper Hill Global.
When there are public health issues, congregational leaders are often at the front lines of mitigating and responding to emergencies. By working with ministry leaders to provide evidence-based care, not only are their congregations positively impacted, but so are their surrounding communities. The Breakthrough Bundle, which includes "Sacred Grief" by Pastor Jennifer Biard, is now available as a self-paced interactive online program and for download.
We at Harper Hill Global are honored to have worked with a phenomenal team of leaders: Misty Bell, Glenda Crump, Sylvia Turner, Chaka Turner, Andrea Reid, Debbie Bates, John Taylor, and Erecia Williams.
The program was developed with insight from Mississippi clergy, including Rev. Dr. Melvin Collins, Dock Cooper, III, Rev. Jerry Mannery, Cindy Cheeks, Rev. Maxine Bolden, Father Mario Solorzano, Diaz Emerson, Neil Marsh, and Bishop Bill McAlilly.
Whether you are in ministry or not, this program for self-care, grief, and healing can reignite your ability to care for yourself. Click on the link below and share with those you care about!
The Breakthrough affirms the scripture guidance for rest and boundaries. This online curriculum consists of seven modules, each includes a mental health topic, scripture-based themes, subject matter experts, testimonies from church leaders, and practical exercises.
