Dana Audain, a member of the Sligo church, found God moving through people at a moment of crisis.

About to graduate with a degree in elementary education, Audain had a teaching job lined up. Then one day, on a break while subbing at another school, she called for employment confirmation for an apartment rental. She learned the school that had hired her was suddenly closing.

“I totally freaked out,” Audain says. When the principal of the school she was at that day saw her, she asked, “Are you okay?”

“List and name your emotions.”

These phrases are just a few of the takeaways students learned about caring for their emotional health—one of the topics covered by Shari Loveday, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, educator and therapist, at the Columbia Union Conference Office of Education’s 2026 Spiritual Academy Leadership Training (SALT) last weekend.

High school students from 12 participating schools in the Columbia Union gathered at Potomac Conference’s Camp Blue Ridge in Montebello, Va., for the event.

Some 175 student leaders and their chaperones listened to Loveday, who encouraged them to “Take Care of Your M.E.S.S. (Mental, Emotional, Social and Spiritual Health)” throughout the weekend.
