Researchers estimate that one in five North Americans suffers from a mental health condition. Furthermore, between 2007 and 2017, the number of those grappling with mental health conditions and substance use disorders grew by 13%—and rose even more in the wake of COVID-19.
What’s causing this epidemic of mental illness? And more importantly, what can be done to combat it?
Debuting on May 6 at the Piñon Hills SDA church, in a four-part documentary-style series, MindFit will shed light on the current mental health crisis racking our continent. By breaking down harmful stigmas and highlighting effective treatments, the seminar aims to provide hope for those who are struggling with mental health challenges, as well as for their loved ones.
This series, hosted by Voice of Prophecy Associate Speaker Alex Rodriguez, addresses questions such as:
What are the most common mental health challenges people face?
How has the history of treating mental illness shaped society’s perceptions of it? How does that history inform the cutting-edge treatments of today?
Do the Bible and spirituality have any role in the treatment of mental disease?
Following each documentary presentation, local moderator Ron Price will lead a study and discussion on the session’s topic.
Admission is free.
“Millions of people throughout North America are battling mental health issues every day. It’s clear our homes need healing, but the problem can be overwhelming to even think about,” Rodriguez says. “In MindFit, you’ll join us on a journey to find answers and hope. Along the way, we’ll meet men and women who have struggled with mental conditions and discover the encouraging breakthroughs that have helped them find health and stability.”
MindFit begins Tuesday, May 6, at 6:30 PM in the Piñon Hills SDA church located at 5001 Foothills Drive in Farmington. It will continue every Tuesday in May at 6:30 PM. You may register to attend this free in-person event visiting MindFitEvent.com.
