SUMMARY:Walking With the Broken-hearted: An Integrative Christian Perspective on Grief and Depression
DESCRIPTION:API Care and Counselling is happy to organise this workshop for participants to appreciate grief and clinical depression through psychological and Christian lenses.\nGrief and depression are common human experiences\, yet many Christians struggle to understand them without guilt or confusion. This public workshop offers an integrative Christian perspective that brings together psychological insight\, theological wisdom\, and pastoral sensitivity. \nParticipants will learn to appreciate grief and clinical depression through both psychological and Christian lenses\, normalising grief and lament as alternative responses to loss. The workshop will help attendees discern when grief remains a healthy process and when it may develop into clinical depression\, requiring additional care. It will also introduce Christian spiritual resources for recovery that support believers who are suffering\, as well as practical steps for assessing and managing suicide risk systematically and responsibly. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nAppreciate grief and clinical depression using both psychological and theological lensesNormalise grief and lament within the Christian faith\nDiscern when grief becomes depression\nIntegrate practical Christian spiritual resources for recovery\nUnderstand suicide risk and establish a framework for assessing and managing risk\nEngage in participative learning through case studies\n\n\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\n								\nWho Should Attend\n\nChristians interested in understanding and improving their own mental healthChristian leaders who want to learn how to respond thoughtfully to those in their care\nFamily members and friends supporting someone who is grieving or depressed\nProfessionals in caring roles who support Christian clients\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nDr Matthew Lim \nDClinPsy (Clinical Psychology)\, DPhil\, GradDip in Pastoral Studies \n\n \nMatthew has worked in inpatient and outpatient public mental health services and has supported adolescents and adults with severe emotional difficulties and histories of childhood adversity.
