Faith, Healing, and Mental Health:  
Caring For Our Mental Health At Every Age

Caring for our mental health is an important part of God’s plan for our wholeness—at every age and stage of life. Just as we nurture our spirit through faith, we are also called to tend to our minds with compassion, support, and care. Healing is holistic.

"Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul." — 3 John 1:2
