    • Spiritual Support Groups

      WHAT IS A MENTAL HEALTH SPIRITUAL SUPPORT GROUP?

      Our goal is to ensure that no one feels alone in his or her struggle with mental illness. Sharing each other’s stories can be a liberating and welcome break in the silence that often surrounds mental illness. This is the place to speak out and be heard in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment, where isolation and stigma dissipate as supportive community is created.

      The spiritual support groups are not group therapy but a ministry in which members seek to help support others during their time of need and to grow spiritually in their relationship with God. One does not need to be Catholic to participate but Catholic prayers and devotions will be used.

      How ARE the Meetings are StructureD?

      The meetings will open with a prayer. This is followed with individual sharing and support by group members. Group members are encouraged but not required to share experiences. The second half of the meeting will be spiritually based with reflections on scripture and spiritual readings along with prayer.

      What will you Gain?

      The experience of prayer, supportive relationships and inner strength. You will find that you are not alone.

       and remember that they are never alone.
