“How can I best love and care for my teen facing a mental health challenge?” If you are a parent asking this question, you are far from alone. This spring, Pastor Beth and Hope Church Nurse Ginger Clark will be facilitating a three-week series allowing parents to engage mental health care experts in learning to recognize the symptoms of a mental health challenge and offering care. Meet us on Sundays at 9:40 on April 22, 29, and May 6 (room announcement forthcoming) to share best practice information with each other and to learn from licensed therapists, ways we can offer love and support. Speakers will include Rev. Izzy Rhodes , M.Div, MSW, who specializes in childhood trauma and Ann McKnight Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW, ACSW who will speak on brain function, anxiety, trauma, and obsessive thinking. Check your bulletin for more details coming soon.
