Sacred Conversation: Mental Health Month (NC Council of Churches)

Join us to celebrate and kick off Mental Health Month with the Rev. Dr. Garry Crites, Executive Director of National Alliance on Mental Illness NC (NAMI NC)! Our faith traditions provide some of the greatest tools available for helping those who deal with mental health conditions and their loved ones. Unfortunately, they also serve as the source of some of the worst stigmas endured by these same dear people. In this session, we will talk about both the possibilities and the challenges at the intersection between religion and mental health, and we will discuss how we, in our faith traditions, can get it right. We will also learn about the many resources that NAMI NC provides.
