Our church, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Springfield, Virginia recently hosted and live-streamed two mental health learning events for our local community, #BOUNCEBACK which focused on adolescent stress, anxiety, and depression and HOPE RESTORED - A CONVERSATION ON MENTAL WELLNESS. Keynote sessions were led by Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Mary Jacob, authors of CPH's new book, "Christian Concepts for Care - Understanding and Helping People with Mental Health Issues." In addition, we partnered with twelve area mental health professionals who led break-out sessions on a variety of mental health topics. The key to our success was connecting attendees to local mental health resources and competent, credentialed practitioners. Attendees commented it was inspiring to have the Church give voice in the mental health conversation and offer HOPE to the most vulnerable!
