About this Webinar
Creating healthy balance can be difficult in ministry, especially in the midst of change. This is an honest conversation between a licensed psychologist and priest, a clergy person serving in the parish, and a lay seminary faculty member. All three have served in various ministry roles and both volunteers and paid professionals. Even though many of us know the importance of caring for ourselves, the challenges to doing so are real and this group will be the first to admit that (read: this webinar and these people have no interest in shaming you, but hope to equip you).
