With epidemic levels of loneliness, depression, and anxiety disorders today, small churches have a unique opportunity to step into their community like never before.
Mental Health Awareness Month and World Mental Health Day are perfect opportunities to join a movement that’s changing lives.
Listen in as Laura Howe, founder of Hope Made Strong and the Church Mental Health Summit, shares practical ways for small churches to walk alongside those who long to know they are not alone.
We’re talking about:
- Why you don’t need a mental health degree to offer hope to those who are hurting
- The incredible power of walking alongside people and listening without fixing
- Popular Christian quips to avoid that inadvertently lead people farther from the church
- How to access a completely free resource with everything you need to host a Mental Health Sunday at your church
