Fall Symposium 2025: Mental Health in Campus Ministry

VIRTUAL event for campus ministry professionals

Thursday, November 6 | 1-4:40 PM ET | 10 AM-1:40 PM PT

College students are facing unprecedented mental health challenges—and as campus ministers, you are on the front lines. Join us for a powerful afternoon of formation that will renew your spirit, equip you with practical tools, and ground you in Christ-centered accompaniment.

From Mari Pablo’s keynote on Healing Begins with Presence to breakout sessions on anxiety, trauma, boundaries, scrupulosity, and building resilient relationships, this symposium brings together nationally recognized speakers who understand both ministry and mental health.

Speakers and Topics Include:

Relational Resilience: Helping Students Build Healthy Relationships in a Disconnected World: Regina Boyd, LMHC

Creating a Culture of Care: Mental Health First Aid on Campus: Dr. Daneille Johnson, PhD, LCPC from Divine Mercy University

From Trauma to Trust: Trauma-Informed Accompaniment for Campus Ministers: Meredith McKay, Director of University Ministry at Gonzaga University

Silent Wounds, Sacred Accompaniment: Ministering to Students from Divorced and Broken Homes: Dr. Daniel Meola, Co-Founder of Life-Giving Wounds

Rooted in Empowered by the Spirit and aligned with the National Standards for Catholic Campus Ministry, the day will strengthen your pastoral care, deepen your theological foundations, and empower you to minister with greater confidence, compassion, and clarity.

Walk away with fresh insights, downloadable resources, and renewed encouragement in your mission to help students encounter Christ’s healing love.

This event is open to all college campus ministers! This is free to anyone who desires to join!

Thank you to Divine Mercy University for partnering with us as the Lead Sponsor of the CCMA 2025 Fall Symposium, helping us equip campus ministers to serve students with compassion and care.
