SUMMARY:Houghton - Soul Shop:  Faith-based Suicide Prevention Training
DESCRIPTION:Soul Shop: Faith-based suicide prevention training set for June 26\nThe following press release was posted on our website on June 2\, 2025.\n  \nCopper Shores Outreach & Education is hosting Soul Shop with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan on Thursday\, June 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Houghton (245 East Montezuma Avenue). Soul Shop is a suicide prevention training program designed for leaders and members of all faith-based communities. Training is free to attend and open to members of all faith-based communities; breakfast and lunch will be provided. \n  \n“This training is a great pastoral tool for those in the church and a great inside look for those outside of the church\,” said Marna Franson\, Missioner with the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan. “Soul Shop allows for a collaborative vision of community intervention to be implemented between the religious space and the mental health profession.” \n  \nThis training opportunity reflects a broader effort to close the gaps between faith and mental health support in meaningful\, community-centered ways. Copper Shores is committed to serving all members of the community\, including those for whom faith is important. For many\, religion provides a sense of connection and community – important factors in preventing suicide. \n  \n“Religion is a point of trauma for many people\, which has historically created a divide between faith communities and nonprofit communities\,” said Kristine Martens\, Copper Shores Outreach & Education program director. “For people whose faith is important to them\, they feel a disservice when it’s not incorporated into public services like mental health training. Soul Shop bridges this gap.” \n  \nSoul Shop was developed in by Fe Anam Avis\, a paster with a passion for suicide prevention\, who noticed that the trainings he hosted did not attract faith-based community members. In an effort to draw in faith leaders\, educators and active congregation members\, Avis created a suicide prevention training that shows the messiness of humanity embraced within scriptures\, highlighting that many of the activities of a church are really prevention work. \n  \nRegistration\nRegistration closes at the end of the day on Wednesday\, June 25.
