For those who are dealing with mental health issues is the only answer to just pray and read the Bible? How can we love and support people who are dealing with issues of mental health?

For this topic we’re blessed to have Licensed Mental Health Counselor Tressa Borchardt share with us and answer our questions related to mental health. You can email your specific questions ahead of time HERE.
