As of the 1 June 2022, St Luke’s has recently changed its focus with resources on improving the mental health and wellbeing of clergy and their families.
This marks a significant shift in its remit and focus.
As a diocese, we have recently offered ‘Trauma informed ministry’ training and have offered resilience training in the past (both bought in from St Luke’s).
Alongside this, St Luke’s also offers one-to-one support.
