Mental Fitness for the people who carry the mission.

Brotherhood Mutual and Forte have partnered to bring proactive Mental Fitness training to the churches and ministries you lead. Now available at preferred pricing for Brotherhood Mutual policyholders.
Why This Partnership

Protecting ministries means protecting the people behind them.

Brotherhood Mutual has been protecting churches and ministries for over 100 years. But the people who carry those missions, your pastors, staff, volunteers, and congregation members, face pressures that insurance alone can't address.
‍
That's why Brotherhood Mutual has partnered with Forte to offer something new: proactive mental fitness training that strengthens the inner lives of the people you serve, at preferred pricing available only to Brotherhood Mutual policyholders.

Mental Fitness for Ministry

The gym for your inner life.

Forte is the Mental Fitness platform that builds inner strength through daily training of the mind, will, emotions, and spirit. Not therapy. Not reactive crisis support. Proactive training that builds strength before the breakdown.

Just as Brotherhood Mutual protects your ministry's buildings and people from external risk, Forte protects the inner lives of the people who make your ministry possible. Mental Fitness is the leading indicator of the results ministry leaders want: engaged staff, resilient volunteers, connected congregations, and sustained calling.

FAQs

How do I know if my organization qualifies for preferred pricing?

This offer is available to current Brotherhood Mutual policyholders. When you claim your rate, our team will verify your policyholder status during onboarding.

How quickly can we get started?

After claiming your rate, our implementation team will walk you through onboarding. Your people can begin building mental fitness through the app in minutes, and connect with a Forte Coach as early as the next day.

Is this therapy or counseling?

No. Forte is proactive Mental Fitness training. It's not therapy, not clinical counseling, and not crisis intervention. It's the daily training of the inner life that builds strength before breakdown. For clinical needs, we encourage connection with licensed professionals.

Are Coaching sessions confidential?

Yes. Sessions are completely confidential. Nothing is recorded. Forte does not keep medical records and is not bound by HIPAA. Ministry leaders receive only aggregate insights, never individual session details.

What does the Forte Coach relationship look like?

Each member selects their own Forte Coach for 1:1 sessions (30, 45, or 60 minutes). Coaches are trained in Forte's proprietary Mental Fitness methodology and come from helping professions like counseling, coaching, pastoral care, and social work. Members can stay with the same coach or switch at any time.

Can this be used for staff only, or congregation-wide?

Both. Many churches start with staff and leadership, then expand to the broader congregation. Your implementation plan is customized to your ministry's needs and goals.

How long is the commitment?

Annual and Multi Year

Does this replace our existing EAP or counseling services?

No. Forte complements existing care. Mental Fitness training is proactive and ongoing. It fills the gap between clinical care and self-help, strengthening people before they reach the point of crisis.

Steward the strength of the people behind the mission.

As a Brotherhood Mutual policyholder, you have access to preferred pricing on Forte's Mental Fitness platform. Strengthen your staff, your volunteers, and your congregation from the inside out.
