Here are two resources that both have to do with the Church’s response to issues of mental health.  Do we as a church leaders have common practices on how or when to refer person’s with mental illness to health care professionals? Perhaps these articles will help you and your church prepare for the persons who are in and around your community who need someone to walk with them through issues of mental health.
