Family Grace Group

October 1 – November 26, 2023

12:15 to 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel

Cost: $18 (Scholarships available for those in need)

Family Grace is a curriculum that is designed to provide resources and support in a community setting. Walking with family and friends who have mental health needs can come with challenges and requires strength and fortitude. While this group is not designed to take the place of meeting with a therapist, the topics addressed each week are intended to create a mutually supportive environment. Our hope is that participants will be encouraged and empowered to care well for themselves and their loved ones. We will be using a book called Family Grace: healthy solutions for your mind included in your registration.

Duration: 10-12 weeks

Topics:

–Building Your Faith & Mental health Recovery
–God is Bigger Than Our Weakness & Communication Skills
–Medication
–Whole-Health Renewal
–Grieving and Grace
–You’re Not the Hero
–Cycles and Triggers & Life-Giving Community
–Handling Problems & Negative and Destructive Behaviors
