At our next Women's Ministry event we are going to considering how we help and support our friends who are hurting, in particular supporting those who are going through struggles with mental health.
This infographic from the Mental Health Foundation shows the importance of talking about Mental Health. 1 in 4 people in Britan will experience a mental health problem in the course of any given year. In a church our size that could be around 12o people. For many Christians these struggles can be a source of confusion, guilt and shame. As an expression of our love for one another we need to know what these different issues are and how best to support our friends.
We will be covering some of these topic at the event on Saturday 14th November at 3pm. We will meet in the lounge for afternoon tea followed by a teaching session and discussion. If you are able to come, sign up on the doodle poll.
In the meantime here are somethings you can do now:
- Pray for women in our church who are struggling with mental health illnesses
- Get in contact with those you know are struggling with this issue in church and ask how you can support them.
