Soul Shop™ is a one-day workshop, hosted by Austin Theological Seminary, that equips faith community leaders to minister to suicide impacts as a regular aspect of their ministries.

The workshop will address the primary obstacles to dealing with suicide such as stigma, fear, and shame; statistics/facts about suicide; and how ministries can create a supportive environment while shifting the culture around how people deal with this subject and one another.

This opportunity is open to all faith leaders and benefits counselors, lay ministry leaders, first responders and essentially anyone interested in learning how to effectively minister to those impacted by suicide.

Workshop facilitator: Michelle Snyder, pictured above, is Executive Director for Soul Shop™.

Complete details are available on the Austin Seminary website, including cost and online registration links.
