Churches Start Care Teams
The Synodal Committee for Mental Health of the Coptic Orthodox Church has begun establishing psychological first-aid support services in churches and dioceses. Trained teams work in coordination with priests and specialists to listen to those in need, identify their needs, and refer them to the appropriate services when necessary, while respecting confidentiality and the limits of their role. The “Psychological First Aid” conference recommended regular training for the teams in calming techniques, listening, and supporting children and adolescents through bereavement. It also recommended providing supervision and support for team members and evaluating the service regularly. The conference was held in Obour City from November 5 to 7, 2026, with 320 participants: 240 in person and 80 via Zoom. It included seven lectures and practical training sessions.
