Saturday, August 20, 5:30pm: Mental Health Connect. We’re honoured to have special guest Fiona Choi from Sanctuary Health come to speak with us on the topic of mental health. Fiona Choi has a PHD in psychology, focused specifically on mental health and addiction. Whether you’ve struggled with your own mental health or know someone close to you, or you simply want to learn, this evening is for you. Dinner will be $10/pp.
A note from Fiona herself: What are some ways the Christian community can provide thoughtful and effective support for those who are struggling with mental illness? We will begin with an introduction to mental health and illness, and the ways our faith can help us understand and respond to the realities of mental health challenges as well as how your church can decrease stigma and become a sanctuary where people with lived experience feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging.
