Health Professionals often work under intense pressure and may be repeatedly exposed to disturbing and traumatic situations.

Our consultation service provides a confidential opportunity for personal stock taking, and also a chance to explore the spiritual resources needed for survival.

Professional Development Groups
We run Supervision Groups for counsellors and psychotherapists, and also for clergy who want a confidential space in which to reflect on the personal and professional issues raised by their work.

(The Guild of Health is a co-sponsor, with St Marylebone Parish Church, of the St Marylebone Healing & Counselling Centre)  

The  Association for Pastoral Care in Mental Health (APCMH) is a Christian based, voluntary association of individual members and affiliated groups who recognise the importance of spiritual values and support in mental health. It has a network of supporters throughout the United Kingdom and it welcomes and encourages people whatever their own faith or belief system.

Governed by its National Committee, APCMH is primarily concerned to promote and encourage "being alongside" people experiencing mental or emotional distress. We hope to encourage local initiatives in faith communities in order to support and empower mental health service users.

Our Vision is that faith communities should be:

  * places where people belong and in that belonging mental health needs are recognised and met.

  * places where mental health needs encourage people to come together and also challenge, enlighten and enrich the community.

  * places where we recognise that action needs to be taken to achieve this vision, so that people with mental health problems take their rightful place in inclusive communities where we all learn from each other.

Mental health difficulties cross all boundaries of race, creed, sexuality, status or disability.
