Faith Connections on Mental Illness (FCMI)


The mission of FCMI is to connect across faiths in mental health ministry​


FCMI began with a few individuals from congregations in Chapel Hill aiming to stop the stigma of mental illness and battle the sense of isolation and rejection. 
Individuals and houses of worship from all faiths continue to join this coalition.  Through education and advocacy in the community and individual congregations, FCMI offers support and comfort to people living with mental illness and those who care for and about them. 

Connectors meetings are open to everyone, typically held on the 2nd Monday of each month, and feature an informative program on mental health issues with opportunities for interfaith discussion.
