Welcome to the R Pearson Learning Institute's certification program in Mental Health for Ministry.  This course is designed for those in the Christian Ministry who desire a greater understanding of mental and behavioral symptoms and treatments. After completing this program you should be able to increase your effectiveness of ministry for a different population of people in the Real World We Live In!

 

This groundbreaking certificate program with 24 CEU's addresses the dramatic shift taking place in the field of ministry as the church is being increasingly confronted with behavioral and mental health conditions. The rise in mass killings, domestic terrorism and violence calls for a level of ministry that requires a servant leader who is educated on mental and behavioral health. This program provides that education for the person new to the ministry as well as the veteran leader in the five fold ministry!

 

This program emphasizes treating the mind, body, and spirit. You'll learn how this new method of care combines scientifically proven alternative and complementary biblical approaches with medications and psychotherapy to address the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of individuals with anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mental conditions associated with, depression,  bipolar disorders and more. In addition this program exposes you to societal issues like domestic violence and crime, along with mental issues in the bible.

 

Prepare yourself for 8 weeks of intensive training and receive a personalize certificate letting others know that you have prepared yourself to minister to more than those who need that extra level of pastoral care. About 1 out of 4 people have some form of mental illness. This program will not make a psychologist or a therapist it simply make you familiar with treatments, symptoms and some causes of the most common forms of mental and behavioral illness. In most cases you refer these people to a credential professional but at least you may have a better understanding of what they are facing.
