Please join me in a morning devotional, using the PCUSA on-line lectionary, and Prayer for the Day. May grace, mercy, and peace be with you. Amen (Let it be so).
As part of May's recognition of Mental Health Month, Susan Lee, LCSW, our Comfort My People Coach, shares this video to encourage our congregations to "Be the Church" and support the 1 in 5 people that are living with mental illness. She reminds us that could mean one person in each pew!
While 1 in 5 people will experience a diagnosable mental health condition in their lives, 5 out of 5 people will go through a challenging time that affects their mental health. There are simple things that every person can say or do to help the people in their life who are struggling to get through the tough times.
