Signposts to Help in the economic crisis

As the economic downturn continues people are likely for some time to be under pressure through redundancy and unemployment, financial difficulties and debt, mortgage and rent problems and repossession. 

The Signposts to Help provides a list of the main agencies that it will be useful to know about for churches seeking to offer support to those in difficulty.

Supporting Carers provides information and worship resources for churches. Churches are encouraged to recognise and value the work of carers, particularly in Carers’ Week (second week of June), and to consider how they might offer pastoral and spiritual support to carers.

Understanding Mental Health is a booklet produced by the Diocesan Health and Healing Group. The Group hopes PCC and church members will find it informative and useful. It is not designed to be a comprehensive document about mental health, but a guide to help church members understand the needs of people who come to our churches and parish buildings. The booklet also includes a section “When someone comes to the door” with advice about the basic steps churches and clergy might take when thinking about personal safety.  Download 'Understanding Mental Health' PDF booklet here.
