Welcome Saint John’s United Church of Christ. First VMFC in Michigan!

We are pleased to announce our newest Veteran/Military Friendly Congregation to the VMFC network, St. John’s United Church of Christ, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Thank you, Reverend Jeffrey Dick and Lay Leader Barbara Huitema, for joining our mission. Blessing to good health.

VA telehealth and tele-counseling is available and a good way to help veterans who are isolated and alone during this crisis. Please click here to learn more about the VA’s Video Connect Help Desk Support.

VA IMH Training

The VA Integrative Mental Health (IMH) Video Training Series aims to support care providers in their efforts to collaboratively address spiritual and psychosocial needs, build communities of care, nurture integrative practices, and sustain systems of wholistic care. The first in a series of three Bridging Videos from our program addresses the need to consider including spiritual care providers as part of the treatment team to provide holistic, patient-centered care. This video explores the rationale for integrating mental health and chaplain services, presents research findings in the domains of religion, spirituality, and health, and highlights cautionary considerations for interpreting and applying these findings.
