Mental Health & The Church
We hope that you will find resources here to help you become more aware of the mental health challenges that we all face and aid in the destigmatization of mental health issues... so that we together might participate with God's work in bringing redemption and flourishing to all persons.
Stress Resiliency for Parents

'No One Should Be Alone'
Mental Health & the Church conference
On April 30, 2016 GVC hosted "'No One Should Be Alone': Mental Health & the Church" with hopes to network, educate, and provide practical resources for helping individuals in the church and surrounding communities affected by mental illness. We believe the first step is destigmatization, and that first step begins with speaking out about the topic.
