Ministry with older people:

Mental Health Matters. For Older People. For Carers

13 July from 1:00-2:30pm

This webinar, hosted by Sheffield Methodist District, is for anyone of any denomination involved in ministry with older people, including volunteers, lay workers and clergy.

We were joined by Pauline Kimantas (CEO, Sheffield Carers), Tim Jansen (Founder, Pontes Training), Sue Wishart (District Safeguarding Officer, Yorkshire West District) as we discussed how to be alert to signs of mental ill health in older people, mental health impacts of the Covid pandemic, and support available for experienced and new carers.
