Resources

the Well Community seeks to inform, serve, and resource the greater faith community about mental illness.  Every pastor and congregation is affected by the illnesses.  Therefore, we hope to pass on the lessons learned about ministering to and among the mentally ill.

Please contact us regarding:

1. How to communicate with someone with mental illness.
2. Where to find help with your illness.
3. How your congregation could start a likeminded ministry.
