Mental health struggles are on the rise and sadly many ministry wives are deeply impacted by this issue. Due to stigmas that continue to exist on this topic, many pastors wives and women in ministry often hide in the shadows due to fear of being ostracized for the struggles they face.
Moderated by our Ministry Wives Network Director, Adrianna Anderson, this webinar will host three panelists who are counselors and ministry wives as they discuss the topic of mental health from a biblical perspective and issues surrounding mental health that they see in their respective ministry circles, with ways to biblically address them and support the women they serve.
You don’t want to miss this free one-hour webinar, so be sure and register today! The deadline to register is January 22nd.
