In this episode we talk about:
- Addressing some common misunderstandings or stigmas about mental health in ministry and the church.
- Do’s and dont’s for how to respond to someone who has disclosed their mental health condition.
- Some basic signs faith leaders should look out for that someone who’s struggling may be more severe and in need of professional care.
- and speaking to those who feel skeptical of psychology or referring their members to a therapist or psychologist outside of the church.
