About the Conference

Over the past 5 years (2020-2025), we have seen increased reports and focus on mental health challenges in the community.

A survey carried out among 451 respondents in 2020 (mostly church leaders), showed that the Church community was certainly not spared - many among the church leaders were also afflicted with mental health challenges. Increasingly, church leaders must respond to the issue of serious mental health challenges among their ministry leaders, admin staff, and their congregation. The deeper question is whether they or their leaders are equipped to support fellow Christians with MH challenges.

A second follow-up Survey was carried out in 2023 with 659 respondents (mainly leaders and staff in full-time ministry) which indicated that the Church's perception of MH had improved and leaders felt more equipped, however, the personal state of mental health among the respondents had deteriorated. The positive side of the survey indicated that most respondents knew where and how to get help and support.

The Association for Christian Counselling Singapore (ACCS) has also launched another MH Survey in 2024 among full-time Administrative Staff and Church workers. It is projected that ACCS will present some of their findings at the upcoming Conference.

Having successfully organised 3 Christian Mental Health Conferences (2021, 2022, & 2023) Christian Mental Health Advocates, Association for Christian Counselling Singapore, and Promises Healthcare together with leading Christian faith-based Social Service Agencies have come together after a 2-year break to organise the 4th Christian Mental Health Conference on 9-10 July 2025 (Wed & Thurs).

Christian Mental Health Conference Singapore (“CMHC”) seeks to provide clinical perspectives on mental health issues and how these perspectives can support the biblical and theological perspectives within the Church and Christian community.

The Conference seeks to promote collaboration between the Church's leadership and Christian mental health professionals.

A growing number of Christian faith-based Social Services Agencies, are partnering with CMHC and their services will be featured to provide information on available resources to support the Christian community. Other professional services, that advocate mental health wellness will also be available onsite through booths and updated information.

This Conference is supported by:

Association for Christian Counselling Singapore, Bethesda Bedok-Tampines Church, Promises Healthcare, Samaritans of Singapore, Fei Yue Community Services, Filos Community Services, Care Corner Community Services, LoveSingapore, and Salt & Light.
