Helping N.C. Clergy Take Better Care of Their Health

Clergy-Health-Spotlight-vid-still
With a $12 million grant from The Duke Endowment, the Clergy Health Initiative is helping ministers tend to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Caring for the myriad needs of a congregation can leave little time for ministers to tend to their own well-being, which ultimately can lead to burn-out or less effective ministries. The Duke Endowment has awarded $12 million for the creation of a Clergy Health Initiative administered by Duke Divinity School and focusing on helping United Methodist ministers in North Carolina tend to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
