Thank you Key Ministry for another successful Disability & the Church conference. It’s like a family reunion for us disability and mental health ministries!

At the heart of every Overcome group is a sense of real, open community.

This happens because in Overcome, we’re real in our discussions, open about our stories, and guided by the truth of Scripture.

If you’ve been thinking about joining an online group, we want to encourage you to take the next step!

Our next online Overcome group is starting May 6th and is designed to support you through life’s heavier seasons—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Whether you’re:
➡️ Navigating a mental health diagnosis
➡️ Walking through a difficult or uncertain season
➡️ Supporting a loved one
➡️ Or exploring what it looks like to facilitate a group in the future

You don’t have to do it alone.

This 8-week, Christ-centered group experience offers an encouraging, confidential space to be honest about what you’re facing while growing in hope alongside others who understand.

Here’s what you can walk away with:
✅ A deeper sense of hope in the midst of struggle
✅ Meaningful, supportive relationships
✅ Practical tools for daily well-being
✅ Renewed perspective grounded in faith

Overcome Group Details:
Wednesdays | 6:00–7:30pm (MDT)
May 6 – June 24
Online via Zoom
$15 (includes PDF workbook)

If you’re looking for a supportive community, we’d love to have you. You are welcome here!

Can you believe it? This year, the Anchor International global community is celebrating 15 years of Christ-centered mental health peer support 💛

Since 2011, Anchor International (formerly My Quiet Cave) has been equipping faith communities to walk alongside those navigating mental health challenges. What started as a vision rooted in lived experience has grown into a global movement—creating spaces where people can pursue both mental and spiritual wellness.

At the heart of it all is a simple belief: no one should suffer alone.

Over the years, we’ve seen lives transformed through community, compassion, and hope. We’ve equipped churches, trained peer facilitators, and walked with individuals and families through both struggle and healing.

And we’re just getting started.

As we look ahead, we’re launching our Breaking Stigma, Building Hope campaign—an opportunity to reach even more people who feel unseen or alone.

This year, we're raising $100,000 by World Mental Health Day for on-the-ground training and programs to break the stigma surrounding mental health and increase access to support group programs for those who are struggling.

And this is all possible because of the Anchor International global community! Whether you’ve participated, led, partnered, or supported, you are part of this story.

Here’s to the next 15 years of breaking stigma and building hope, together.
