TRAINING & RESOURCES
The MORE COURSE
Are you supporting people within the church setting who never seem to be able to break free of life-long struggles with depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal tendencies, PTSD, dissociative identity disorder? Are you suffering with a complex mental health issue yourself?
​
Often these conditions are ways of managing overwhelming emotions or experiences that become too unbearable to face—the development of a variety of symptoms which can be seen as an expression of the internal pain and conflict that people are struggling with. The symptoms become a way of trying, unsuccessfully, to manage the emptiness and desperate desire to fill an internal void. These are complex conditions and if you want to support people effectively within the church community, it is important to have an understanding of these conditions. It is also important to consider your own ongoing support and supervision as a team, so that you can provide the best care you can within appropriate boundaries.
​

More for therapists & Churches
MORE for Therapists is a two-day workshop based around the More Course, but aimed specifically at therapists who want to integrate their faith with their clinical work in the area of complex mental health issues. It includes clinical theory and practical demonstrations, including EMDR, Compassion-focused Therapy exercises, and Crisis management. The discussions look at both the spiritual and the clinical theory surrounding complex mental health issues, and how to bring a more holistic approach to the treatment and management of conditions such as C-PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and other dysfunctional coping mechanisms. The course is currently being run on Zoom. Please note that this is a different event to The MORE Course and is aimed specifically at professionals working within the mental health field.​​​
​
The MORE Course — How to walk free and stay free! This course will help you to understand and overcome your mental health struggles from a biblical and clinical perspective.

It can be run as a discipleship course for overcoming complex mental health conditions from a biblical perspective, run over eight or nine sessions, with each offering break-out opportunities for group discussion.
