It won't always be like this - Ben Slater
MENtal HEALth
To kick off our month focussing on Mental Health, we are privileged today to hear from Ben Slater. Born in Essex, Ben developed a career in education, increasingly working with children who needed specialist teaching environments. This led to a keen interest in attachment theory & mental health which combined with his faith gave him a heart for clergy and their families. As Ben says, Christians are capable of beating themselves up like anybody else but with a shinier stick.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
