A Church Leader’s View of Celebrate Recovery

As a church leader, I've seen the powerful impact of Celebrate Recovery in our congregation transforming countless lives and our church culture. It's all too common to feel you're the only one who struggles. So just by running such a group, we signal loud and clear...

The Seven Keys of Celebrate Recovery: Key 2 – Leadership Training

Leadership stands as a cornerstone of all that we do; it is also a skill that requires continuous refinement and development, which is why leadership training is the second key of a successful Celebrate Recovery group. Leadership training plays a pivotal role in the...

Statistics show that the number of people struggling with mental health has sadly increased over the last few years – with one in four adults, and one in ten children, being diagnosed in the UK – and we all probably know others who don’t feel able to seek help....
