Groundbreaking research into the Australian Church's response to mental health to be released at the Summit!
NAYBA has been undertaking a major piece of research into the church's response to mental health in Australia. Coupled with data from our city and state-wide Impact Audits, we have conducted over 40 interviews with church and ministry leaders, mental health professionals, and people with lived experience.
Our hope is that the research will help the Church understand how we are already responding to the issue of mental health, articulate the unique role of Australian Christians, and present practical, evidence-based strategies for better serving our congregations and the community.

From the Hosts, NAYBA Australia
The NAYBA team is so excited to host the 2024 Australian Church Mental Health Summit.
As we have conducted city and state-wide Impact Audits, mental health keeps coming back as one of the top needs by faith leaders.
This year, we are excited to partner with Hope Made Strong and offer you an awesome line-up of speakers, including Laura Howe coming all the way from Canada.
We hope you are able to learn and grow from every part of this event.
The summit will centre on our recent research that has received contributions from 40+ church and ministry leaders, front-line mental health staff, and people with lived experience.
The goal is to equip the church to serve and support their community, but also to strengthen the leaders.
We are excited to join you in learning and in conversation.
See you on June 4, 2024!
