Few, if any, people are untouched by mental health challenges either for themselves or loved ones. As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, we explore how our Social Principles call us as United Methodists to support and care for those living with mental health challenges, as well as how we are to care for our own body, soul and spirit.
Guest: The Rev. Camille Henderson-Edwards
- Read about the Social Principles and discover all the ways United Methodists can live out their faith in the world.
- Action alerts from the General Board of Church and Society provide opportunities for community witness and advocacy.
- Discover what the Book of Resolutions says about concerns in our society, including mental illness.
