A free companionship workshop is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 22 at Kent Untied Methodist Church, 11010 S.E. 248th St., 253-852-3900.
The workshop is presented by Craig Rennebohm, chaplain.
Companionship is a gift we all can share. This training is for anyone who wants to support a family member, a stranger or friend who is struggling physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually. Companionship is about loving our neighbor.
Companionship teaches five basic practices that help build a healing relationship. Rennebohm has worked for the last twenty years as a chaplain on the streets of Seattle with individuals who are homeless and mentally ill. He serves as a resource to families and
their loved ones facing mental illness; provides assistance to local congregations seeking
to develop mental illness ministries and offers training for faith leaders, laity and mental health providers and as a grassroots community health organizer. He is the author of Souls
in the Hands of a Tender God, published in 2008, and the Gentle Bible, a set of daily readings
supportive of healing, companionship and community, available from the Mental Health
Chaplaincy in Seattle. His website is www.mentalhealthchaplain.org
