VPC News Thank you Pastor Kelsey Woodruff
Check out our book selections in the Summer Ministry Brochure Jesus desires you to be whole, in body, mind, and soul. At VPC, we know issues around mental health can be confusing, challenging, and may come with needless stigma. These are great books that will raise your awareness about mental health issues and how God cares about the whole person.
Care & Support
Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition; 1 in 5 U.S. adults will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. Throughout May, NAMI and participants across the country are raising awareness for mental health. Each year, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care. -See more at: nami.org/mentalhealthmonth VPC Mental Health Ministry contact Elizabeth Weiss: esweiss1231@gmail.com, 480-699-2982 24-hour Crisis Line: 602-222-9444
