MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
We are beings made up of mind, body and spirit, each working together with the others to sustain our overall health. Mental health is the part of us which affects how we think, feel and act, and also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Investing in our mental well-being is significant to the life of the whole person, and is imperative to our being able to truly love ourselves so that we can therefore love others around us well.
Here are resources for your healing and recovery journey. We hope this is a help to you!
YOU ARE NEW & FREE
The last several years have taken a toll on our spiritual, emotional and mental health. Last year we created this series called New + Free, to help us recover together.
Here’s some of the questions that were answered through this series:
How do you forgive people, after all we’ve seen?
Is there a way to heal from church hurt, and community pain?
Why do we fight so much? What can we do about it?
How do we break cycles of dysfunction?
How do we set better boundaries, and face codependency?
Is there is a better way to identify safe people, and become trustworthy ourselves?
What do we do with our anxiety and anger?
Can we hear from a mental health professional about these issues? (YES YOU CAN!)
Together, let’s overcome, continue to grow, change and become more like Christ!
FAITH & MENTAL HEALTH
Brittney Moses, a mental health specialist, research assistant at UCLA, and recovery support group leader with NAMI, put together an incredible list. She starts with how to find a counselor (and the different types of counseling available), crisis resources, Christian resources, addiction, partner abuse/domestic abuse, sexual abuse, PTSD, as well as cultural-based resources, and so much more. We 100% can't do better than this list, and would love for you to check it out. Watch this video of an interview with Britney Moses from our New & Free Series to learn directly from her!
