LDS Mental Health Trainings for Bishops, Wards, & Families
Church leaders are often asked to respond to complex emotional, relational, and mental health challenges. Our LDS therapists provide practical, gospel-aligned trainings designed to support bishops, ward leaders, and families with tools that strengthen both spiritual and emotional resilience. Each training blends clinical expertise with respect for LDS doctrine and culture.
Why LDS Mental Health Training Matters
Supporting Leaders Without Replacing Revelation
Bishops and ward leaders carry sacred responsibilities that often include supporting individuals through mental health struggles. Our trainings are not meant to replace spiritual guidance but to enhance it. We help leaders recognize common patterns, understand when professional help is appropriate, and respond with confidence, clarity, and compassion while maintaining doctrinal alignment.
Available LDS Training Topics
Training Topics We Offer
YSA Wards
Young single adults face unique pressures related to identity, faith transitions, relationships, and life direction. This training helps leaders understand common emotional patterns among YSA members, identify warning signs, and create supportive ward environments that encourage growth without shame.
Parenting the Gospel Way: Healthy Youth Come from Healthy Homes
This workshop teaches gospel-centered principles that strengthen families through improved communication, emotional regulation, and healthy boundaries. Leaders and parents learn practical tools that align with gospel values while supporting mental and emotional development.
Pornography Addiction & Recovery
Pornography struggles are often accompanied by shame, secrecy, and misunderstanding. This training equips leaders with a compassionate, informed framework that balances accountability with healing. Topics include addiction dynamics, supporting spouses, reducing shame cycles, and knowing when to refer to professional therapy.
Divorce Support and Healing
Divorce can deeply affect individuals, children, and ward communities. This training helps leaders respond with empathy while understanding trauma responses, grief stages, and healthy pathways toward emotional and spiritual healing.
