Mental Health and the Church

There is no doubt that the current Covid-19 pandemic has raised the awareness of mental health in general and particularly the impact of the pandemic on people’s mental health. This is true for the Christian community too. It is therefore a good thing that Christians are willing to talk openly about mental health issues.
