2025 Faith and Mental Health Summits Recap

May 21, 2025 · by Partners in Health and Wholeness

In 2025, we had the privilege of hosting three impactful Faith and Health Summits across North Carolina—Asheville, Sanford, and Greenville. These events brought together 250+ faith leaders, mental health professionals, community organizers, and individuals passionate about bridging the gap between spiritual well-being and mental health.

Each summit was unique in its setting, yet united in its mission to educate, inspire and mobilize people of faith to support mental health and wellness in their communities. With a combination of expert speakers, interactive workshops, and real-world strategies, attendees walked away with new knowledge, practical tools, and a renewed commitment to supporting mental health in their congregations and communities.

A special thank you to our speakers and everyone who helped make these events such a success! If you’re interested in partnering with us for our next Faith and Mental Health Summit, please reach out to us at phwinfo@ncchurches.org.

At the Asheville Summit, we were fortunate to have Caryn Hanna graphically record our time together. Take a moment to explore the visual recap of the summit!
