“In 2017 I led a debate within the Church of England’s General Synod about the harms of ‘conversion therapy’, which ended with the Synod agreeing to call on the government to ban it.

“The theme for this year’s Queensland Mental Health Week is ‘Awareness, Belonging, Connection’. It aims to raise awareness around mental ill-health, staying connected to others and supporting meaningful conversations,” says Eliza Wilson from Anglicare Southern Queensland
This week is Queensland Mental Health Week. Each year one in five people will experience a concern with their mental health. So this week is an opportunity for Queenslanders to raise community awareness and understanding around mental health and wellbeing. See how Anglicare Southern Queensland is supporting clients and how you can get behind those who are experiencing challenges with their mental health.
“Prioritising mental health in parish and ministry working environments helps promote a culture of care and compassion, enhances organisational productivity and fosters the Church’s mission. It can also help reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues and encourages clergy, employees and volunteers to seek help when needed,” says Work Health and Safety Advisor Michael Kucera.
“Our Diocese’s geographical area could be described as ‘Defence and Veteran Central’, but that’s not what we see in our churches. Following interest in our ministry generated at our recent Synod, it’s a privilege to be invited to share a little about what Anglican Army chaplains do,” says The Ven. Rob Sutherland CSC
