3GEN+ Mental Health Ministry
One out of every four adults in America is affected by mental illness at some point in their lifetime, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Do you know anyone living with mental illness?
Hundreds of millions suffer from mental illnesses yearly, and many more do over their lifetimes. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will experience major depression in their lives. (Source: Mental Health – Our World in Data)
The first place many people go for help
Is to the church and to the priests. Yet, the faith communities, for lack of resources, have struggled to minister effectively to people with mental health conditions and their families.
