Mental Health

There are instances in every peson's life when it seems that a problem is insurmountable or a cross is unbearable ... a time when one seeks encouragement and hope.  The Church provides a safe place for people to find God's help in healing the trials, traumas, and tragedies that come into each of our lives.

The Church seeks to welcome all.  See below for resources on how to be a welcoming and inclusive community of those living with mental illness, as well as resources on mental health awareness. 

A Pastoral Response to Mental Illness is available from the National Catholic Partnership on Disability.  Included are tips for parishes on how to best support those living with mental illness and other information on mental illness.
