Soul Shop
Faith-based suicide prevention training
Soul Shop
Soul Shop’s mission is to equip faith community leaders and congregations with the tools and knowledge to effectively minister to individuals and families impacted by suicide, offering compassionate support, guidance, and hope.
- Equipping faith communities to recognize and respond to suicidal desperation.
- Empowering faith communities to be sources of hope and social connection.
Closing the gap
Copper Shores is committed to supporting all members of the Copper Country community, including those for whom faith plays a meaningful role. Many people find strength, connection and healing through their faith, helping to reduce isolation and support mental well-being.
We believe in building bridges between mental health care and faith-based communities by bringing together faith leaders and congregation members to foster understanding, compassion and open dialogue around suicide and mental health.
