Hello, fellow TLPCA members!
My name is Dr. Ashley McGowan, LPC-MHSP, and I am also a proud member of TLPCA. I would like to invite counseling professionals, church and ministry leaders, and community members to attend the S.O.S. Mental Health & Wellness Conference: Sustaining Our Shepherds.
This year’s theme, “Leading While Loaded,” will address the often-unspoken emotional and mental-health burdens experienced by pastors, ministers, worship leaders, ministry spouses, and others serving in leadership.
For counselors, this conference offers an opportunity to better understand the unique pressures, cultural considerations, help-seeking barriers, and mental-health needs of church and ministry leaders. Attendees can gain insights that may strengthen rapport with faith-oriented clients, support culturally responsive counseling practices, and encourage stronger partnerships between mental-health professionals and faith communities.
The conference will also promote mental-health awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage healthier approaches to supporting those who continually support others.
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
Location: 1110 Peachers Mill Road, Clarksville, TN 37042
Lunch is included with registration.
