“Whether you are a person caring for a loved one that has a mental illness, or a person who struggles with their own mental health condition, or both, my mission is this:
To bring to light the many aspects of those pieces of life that we don’t yet have the answers to, or have found answers to and want to share! There is hope. Let’s be bold and brave. And real.”
Church and Mental Health – offers a healthy approach to mental health in the Church by providing resources and programs to help churches connect with members who are experiencing a mental health issue. The website provides free resources for churches including The Church Assistance Program.
