Mental Health in Youth Ministry:
a Practical and Compassionate Approach
Mental health struggles in adolescents has been on the rise in recent years. Join Caroline Oas, Youth Director at North Cross UMC, to discuss how to have the hard conversations with your students. Learn how to respond if you see signs of serious mental health issues in a student - what to say, who to call, what steps to follow. This workshop will give you important resources to bring back to your ministry!

Intentional Transitions: Helping Seniors Prepare for
Faith-filled Life Beyond Graduation
How does your church prepare or equip seniors for continued spiritual growth after high school graduation? How many of those graduates remain part of the Church, a year, a decade, or even six months after graduation? Four years ago, the Chillicothe United Methodist Church decided to move beyond simply congratulating their graduates. Join Dustin Buell, Student Ministry Leader at Chillicothe UMC, to examine some practical ways to better equip your church and your students to carry their faith into and beyond college.
