Blended Intensive Programme – Mental Health and Spiritual Support in Times of Permacrisis

Welcome to participate at our BIP on the issues of Mental Health and Spiritual Support in Times of Permacrisis: Building Caring Communities in a Risk Society. The dates of our face-to-face symposium will be from Wednesday, January 6, 2027 to Sunday, January 10, 2027. We will gather in our Estonian Free Church Theological Seminary, Koskla 18, Tallinn, Estonia.

This five-day international training is both for the lecturers and students who attended in January 2026 in BIP focusing on mental health in faith communities as well as all for newcomers willing to join the learning community in January 2027. 

Our aim is to move from understanding individuals to supporting communities under pressure. This is a chance to enlarge our godly vision and envision a broader human perspective on mental health issues relating to war, displacement, disasters, polarization, economic insecurity, and other forms of collective trauma.
