## Resource

We are facing a mental health crisis, and many people cannot afford counselors, or it takes months to get in to see someone. How can the Church respond to the need? Author and researcher Shaunti Feldhahn teamed up with James N. Sells, PhD, to survey pastors on how best to address the need and include laypeople when possible. Shaunti joins us with the details and why this is so important for the Church today. The Church Cares: Mental Health Training for Lay Helpers (https://www.thechurchcares.com/)
