Grace & Grit is a faith-based initiative designed to equip congregations, ministry leaders and faith-based workers with the tools to recognize and respond to mental health and substance use challenges within their communities. Through trauma-informed training, participants gain skills in mental health literacy, opioid awareness, suicide prevention, and effective referral practices to support youth and families.

​

Rooted in cultural humility and spiritual care, the program bridges the gap between faith and mental health—empowering faith institutions to become safe, informed and responsive spaces, delivering compassionate support.

 

By strengthening the capacity of trusted leaders, Grace & Grit helps reduce stigma, promote early intervention, and increase access to lifesaving resources—ensuring that faith communities are not only places of worship, but also pathways to healing.
