We have multiple resources available for pastors and ministry leaders. Consider some of the following.

The MMBB Cares portal is a secure registration site designed for clergy and their families to receive critical mental health and wellness resources they need to minister to their religious communities effectively. Among the service providers available, you can choose between several approaches that best fit your needs.
MMBB Cares has partnered with National EAP to deliver mental health counseling services and with the Center for Career Development and Ministry, and Ministry Development Network to provide career coaching services to participants. MMBB Cares counseling and coaching services are provided at no cost to clergy who register. Visit https://www.mmbb.org/what-we-offer/mmbb-cares
