Mental Illness & mental health is a hot topic these days. It needs to be normalized and not stigmatized. In this pandemic age, we need a greater awareness of self-care. A new and healthy normal on mental health care is needed both for the sufferer and the caregiver more so for those who suffer from depression and suicidal tendencies.
So, where do we start and how does someone recover from Depression?
For caregivers, what does it take to help someone without burnout yourself?
Who and what is involved or required?
The Good News is: There is always HOPE!
Whether you are suffering from mental illness, a caregiver or a friend of a sufferer, you matter. There is hope-filled healing from mental illness. One that is wholistic and works.
Sharon will share from her experience in both her healing journey & in counselling others, with time for Q&A with her and her husband, who will speak from his role as caregiver.
Come and be encouraged - Gain useful tools for healing, helping yourself and others effectively and join the conversation in an inclusive way, where everyone matters!
