Get-Together #6 

As Christians, we have read many scriptures in the bible which provide accounts of challenges and difficulties faced by God’s people. We have often overlooked the fact that many of these trials and tribulations experienced by God’s people, often have deep mental health undertones.

 

In modern times society expects us to be strong and we feel that having mental health challenges is an inherent weakness. We are afraid to admit it and feel if others know about it, they will judge us as being weak or not good enough. It is evident from the accounts given in scripture that mental wellness should not be stigmatized, especially in our busy modern-day lifestyles, and therefore seeking mental health assistance for coping in these modern times should not be frowned upon.
