Spotlight: Caring for those with mental health stuggles

Spotlight evenings are not usual church services, rather they are topical evenings where we can consider certain subjects in more detail.

Mental health struggles represent significant suffering for the afflicted and those supporting them. Confusion and overwhelm are common, and sometimes, can cause us to veer towards unhelpful responses which make matters worse. It can seem that the bible has little to say on such matters. But following biblical principles can help the helper to bring gospel centred compassion, clarity and hope to those walking through this dark valley. They can also help us to see the bible has far more to say about these matters than we might think it does.

Psychologist and counsellor, Catherine Haddow, will help us think through these issues.
