Green Ribbon Ministries

Green Ribbon Ministries bridges the gap between clinical mental health support and community involvement, empowering churches to better serve individuals facing mental health challenges through education and meaningful dialogue.

In recent years, conversations around mental health have become more common&mdash;but many churches, ministries, and communities still feel unsure of how to respond well. That&rsquo;s where Green Ribbon Ministries comes in. Green Ribbon Ministries exists to educate, equip, and encourage churches, ministries, and organizations to walk alongside those who are struggling with mental health. Our mission is rooted in the belief that no one should have to navigate anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges alone&mdash;and that the Church can play a vital, compassionate role in that journey. Through training, resources, and ongoing support, Green Ribbon Ministries helps leaders and communities grow in both understanding and practical care, offering hope that is grounded in truth and lived out in love. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re excited to host the Green Ribbon Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser on September 12. This event is more than just a day of friendly competition&mdash;it&rsquo;s an opportunity to rally around a meaningful cause. Every serve, rally, and match played helps support the ongoing work of equipping churches and ministries to better care for people facing real struggles. Whether you&#39;re picking up a paddle to compete, sponsoring the event, or simply showing up to support, you are helping extend hope to individuals and families who need it. Because when communities are equipped, people are seen.And when people are seen, they are not alone. Join us on September 12&mdash;and be part of something bigger than the game.

We don&rsquo;t want to lose that part of our time together. And we also want to use this gathering to build together. We&rsquo;ll spend time: &nbsp;Helping shape the questions for an upcoming mental health panel, where our congregation will have the opportunity to ask therapists their questions. Brainstorming and beginning to develop practical resources we can bring directly to churches, such as a Mental Health 101 for Church Leaders and a Mental Health Ministry Starter Guide. Thinking together about what churches actually need to better walk alongside those struggling with their mental health.Our hope is that these conversations don&#39;t just stay around the table.&nbsp; We want to take what we hear from therapists and turn it into practical tools that can help churches!
