Nearly 1 in 2 Australians will face mental illness at some point in their lives.

Mental illness has a way of reaching and touching just about everyone. How do we best care for people with depression and anxiety? What resources does God offer in the face of such pain? This leadership session will explore how we can practically love and pastor those struggling with their mental health.
