Mental
Illness and
Families
of Faith:
How Congregations
Can Respond
ABOUT THIS RESOURCE Mental
Illness and
Families of
Faith:
How Congregations
Can Respond is a two
DVD set
to help
educate
faith communities
about various
mental health
issues.
One in four
families
sitting
in our pews
has a family
member dealing
with a mental
illness.
Yet many
are suffering
in silence.
Through
education,
we can erase
the stigma
associated
with these "no
fault" illnesses
and provide
congregations
with examples
of how they
can become
supportive
and caring
communities
for individuals
and families
affected
by mental
illness.
These
eight shows
cover a variety
of mental
health issues.
Professionals
provide important
information
about each
illness.
But mostly
you will hear
from real
people who
live with
these brain
disorders.
Each segment
presents
an issue related
to the experience
of mental
illness,
puts a face
to the issue
and offers
a message
of hope.
The shows
are short
enough to
be used in
a variety
of settings
including
classes and
small groups.
Each segment
has a discussion
guide with
background
information,
questions
for discussion
and where
to find additional
resources.
