Mental Health Ministry & MHC

“Working with Mental Health Connect was inspirational and helpful—their ‘Enhancing a Mental Health Ministry’ program provided us with tools and up-to-date information to help us move forward with a comprehensive Mental Health Ministry. Thank you, Mental Health Connect! Our community is able to feel safe and open to sharing without judgements. We’ll continue to strive for the most current mental health information so we can serve our community as they need it.”
