Series introduction
Mental health challenges are present in every congregation, yet many churches still feel uncertain about how to respond. This series is designed to help pastors, leaders, and members think biblically, speak carefully, and act wisely in the care of people who are suffering. The aim is not to turn the church into a clinic, but to make the church a safer, wiser, and more compassionate place.
