Making Space at the Well: Mental Health and the Church
A Talk by Jessica Young Brown PhD, LCP (owner, Choices to Change, LLC)
About this Talk
Churches, at their best, are places where people can come to gather in community, commune with God, and build strength for the spiritual lives. However, because of mental health stigma, many people do not feel comfortable sharing their mental health concerns in faith communities. We will focus on using the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well as a model for how church can be open and supportive of addressing mental health concerns.
