Duke Divinity School is hosting an event for faith leaders who may be experiencing a roller coaster of feelings with the holidays quickly approaching. While the holidays are often assumed to be a time of joy, they can also be a time of heaviness. This is true for all people, including leaders of faith communities.

Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer) and Duke Divinity School are partnering to host Hope for the Holidays, the third part of our mental health webinar series, "Running on Empty." Led by two experts, the event will explore ways to navigate and negotiate the holidays, appreciate the challenges they bring, and share how faith leaders can strengthen and sustain the power of hope throughout this joyous and sacred season.
