Mental Health First Aid Training is a skills-based training course that teaches you how to help someone who is experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis.

What it Covers:

This training provides clinicians with tools and resources for navigating the faith and spirituality of those they serve in a way that’s consistent with recognized principles of recovery. Particular attention is given to the practices of spiritual assessment, spiritual support/skill building, and connecting people to external resources and faith communities.

Intersect relies on the special support from funders both great and small. Here are highlights from the first months of 2026 showing the work that our supporters have made possible.

Expansion of Intersect's National Reach

Intersect's reach has been expanding across the state and country. Intersect's Director, Dave Eckert, was a keynote speaker at a Church and Mental Health Summit in Clarion County Pennsylvania. He also participated in a video filmed in Texas with other national leaders about the gap between the church and mental health service providers.

Expansion of Intersect's Global Reach

Hope Made Strong, a Canadian-based ministry, invited Dave Eckert and Mark Boorse onto their Care Ministry Podcast as well as to provide a Better Together workshop for a global audience. These opportunities led to a relationship to a ministry in Uganda for which Intersect is providing ongoing consultation.

Bringing People Together Locally

Intersect hosted a collaborative event with The One America Movement to bridge gaps on political polarization. 18 attendees discussed the topics of immigration and gun control with a positive experience!

Intersect was awarded a grant from the Visiting Nurses Association of North Penn (VNA) to gather faith communities to create a housing action plan for the North Penn community and begin the work together to serve the unhoused. Town halls have begun in June and will continue until early summer next year.

Because of our funders, we were able to accomplish these things. THANK YOU. We couldn't do what we do without you.

Every day, we encounter people who struggle silently with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges. Many of these people are participating in congregations while carrying burdens they do not or cannot name. Intersect exists to provide them with spiritual support, connection to resources and greater integration into a local church.

Intersect is sustained through the generosity and partnership of churches who recognize that caring for those with mental health conditions is a vital part of the Church’s calling. Your support directly enables us to serve those who might otherwise go without care, and we would be honored to explore how your church might collaborate with us.
