Mental Health and Your Church

Mental health struggles are far more common than many of us realize. Statistics indicate that one in six people globally experienced a mental health disorder within the past week. This means that many within our church families are grappling with thoughts, emotions—and sometimes even voices—that disrupt their focus, leave them feeling helpless, and push them to the brink of despair. When it comes to offering help, we often find ourselves unsure of where to begin, fearing that saying or doing the wrong thing might only make matters worse. This practical, deeply compassionate book will help you understand those struggling with mental health issues and respond with biblical wisdom. It will equip you to play your part in making your church a place where such individuals feel welcomed, understood, cared for, and supported—a place where they can experience a foretaste of the new creation.
