Approximately 40% of Americans seeking help for mental health issues turn first to their faith leaders—double the number who initially seek assistance from licensed professionals. As a woman of faith, Lauren is committed to transforming the landscape of mental health support by integrating faith-based conversations, mental health education, and emphasizing the vital role that spirituality plays in holistic well-being. She is a co-founder of Sanity in the Sanctuary®, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing clinical and biblical perspectives to raise awareness and equip faith leaders with the education, practical strategies, and resources necessary to foster hope and healing within their communities. Sanity in the Sanctuary® also hosts an annual conference aimed at bridging the gap between mental health and faith. Lauren is available for speaking engagements and training sessions focused on the intersection of spirituality, faith, and mental health.
