Starting with the Church of Recovery
We equip local faith communities to create safe spaces filled with people who are fluent in mental health awareness and grounded in compassion.
The Church is on the front lines of today’s mental health crisis. Bless This Brain works to reduce stigma in by cultivating a culture that sees and supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Through sharing our own experiences with mental trials, we encourage open, honest conversations that foster healing and connection.
We offer Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) certification to help equip leaders, volunteers, and the broader community. This 8-hour, interactive training provides a nationally recognized 3-year certification. We make it available to faith organizations and laypeople for just $30 per person—the cost of materials. We believe this is a vital first step in breaking down stigma and making mental health care accessible and attainable.
A robust Gospel shapes our understanding of healing. The Church is made up of individuals—each with physical bodies, emotional lives, relationships, and spiritual needs. Mental suffering can affect any or all of these areas, often bringing pain and disconnection. But communities thrive when they acknowledge the complexity of the human experience, embrace vulnerability and compassion.
The power is in shifting the culture of silence into one of hope, honesty, and wholeness.
Leading to the Birth of Recovery
Our Recovery Advocates are peers with lived experience in mental health and substance use challenges.
We are here to listen, share helpful resources, and connect you to a local professional or build a care team that fits your needs—whatever that looks like for you. Finding a path to mental health care shouldn’t feel lonely, overwhelming, or confusing.
For no charge, we can help you find providers who accept your insurance, are located nearby, and are a good match for your situation. Whether you’re just starting out or picking things back up, you’re not alone in the process. We’ll listen, pray with you if you’d like, and walk with you through the steps of getting support.
The earlier someone connects to professional care, the better their chances for healing and stability. We’re here to help make that connection possible.
Into and Through the Work of Recovery
Our founders and facilitators have first hand experience living with mental illnesses.
Bless This Brain is passionate about seeking recovery through relationship. We believe having a sense of belonging and being seen can have a huge impact on overall mental health.
Our Recovery Cohorts are 12-week peer support groups with a focus on re-framing our identities. Through sharing similar experiences we can learn tools and remind each other of the hope of the Gospel of Jesus. Our discussion guide has been reviewed by professionals from a variety of backgrounds.
Participants and alumni will get the opportunity to be certified in MHFA for free. They will also get access to workshops with speakers who care about mental health, nutrition, faith and self development.
