Creating Bridges of Hope: Mental Health Ministry 101

Challenging stigma requires a multi-faceted approach: Story-Telling, Education and Resources.  What can we learn from the stories of people and families impacted by serious mental illnesses? What can we learn about the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of mental illnesses that will help further open our minds and hearts? Do we know what helps and what hurts? What community resources are available? How can we fulfill our mission to be the hands and feet of Christ to people and families living with chronic mental health challenges?
