Today is recognized as World Mental Health Day
Here are a few ways to get involved for World Mental Health Day and beyond:
- GOD + Therapy+ Community=Healing
- Promote Mental Health Resources
- Check On Your People (ChOP) by email, text, or a phone call
- Share your story if you feel led to
- Share an encouraging scripture
- Volunteer with a Mental Health Agency (AFSP, MHA, NAMI, Kids Mental Health Foundation)
- Promote and advocate for therapy or counseling
- Do some research on mental health challenges and disorders
- Become a Mental Health First Aider
- Sign up to walk at an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Walk in your area
Can faith and mental health live in the same conversation?
I recently gave an interview in honor of World Mental Health Day where I answer this question. If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between the two, this one is for you.”
Let me know your thoughts and how you might get involved in the mental health arena.
Many Blessings,
Jarkeshia
PS. Let's take more time to assess our spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
