Discussion Series on Mental Health
Tuesday Afternoons starting April 13
3:30 pm to 5:00 pm
Facilitated by Pastor Wendy
Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Do you want to learn how you can help someone who is struggling with their mental health? Are you looking for a safe community of people who can discuss mental health without stigma or shame?
Pastor Wendy has noticed a lot of congregational response when we raised mental health as an area of concern for our community. In this 6- Week Adult Education series, we will watch TED talks on various topics and then discuss how we might better respond as individuals and a church.
