The Church and Mental Health | Interview with Deanne Ward & Kelly Wilkerson | Part 1

My wife, Deanne, shares our personal journey with mental health in the family during an interview on the Gary Wilkerson Podcast. Deanne is currently the director of MyHope Global, a faith-based website providing mental health resources.

Deanne and Kelly join Dr. Mark Mayfield to talk about supporting loved ones who are struggling with addiction. Looking to their own stories and personal experiences, they discuss how the church sometimes isn’t prepared to help with mental health issues and how Christians can be well informed, supportive friends.

This is a powerful message if you are pastor, care giver, or struggling with mental health.
