2026 FLEN -Jamaica - Emotional Health Care Trip
Mandeville, Jamaica - July 15-21, 2026!
In this unique mission trip to Jamaica, Southeast Christian Church is partnering with Family Life Equipping Network (FLEN) to train leaders from church congregations throughout the country's 14 parishes to develop Emotional Health Care Teams. This trip is designed for counselors willing to engage with openness and compassion, sharing their own experiences while learning how to support others in navigating emotional health in family life. Participants will teach emotional health care curriculum, guide conversations, encourage growth, and model leadership and establishing safe spaces for church leaders who will use what they learn as they develop emotional health care groups in their communities. To provide expert insight and guidance, the trip seeks individuals with professional and/or pastoral experience in Care Ministry as well as young people with an interest in learning about Care Ministry. With a team maximum of 30 people, this opportunity will engage leaders from churches all across Jamaica, empowering leaders to inspire lasting change in their communities through emotional health care.
