Bridging Faith and Mental Health: Collaborative Pathways for Community Support

Special Guest: Rev Dr. Cardes H Brown Jr 
New Light Missionary Baptist Church Greensboro NC.

This discussion with Pastor Cardes H  Brown Jr. of New Light Missionary  Baptist Church Greensboro NC, explores how faith-based communities and mental health professionals can collaborate to support individuals navigating mental health challenges. Recognizing that identity and belonging often influence mental wellness, the focus is on creating a space where diverse cultural and faith backgrounds are understood and valued. By fostering open dialogue and mutual respect, practitioners can address the unique needs of individuals within faith communities, helping them feel comfortable in their own skin. This partnership aims to dismantle stigma, promote holistic well-being, and reinforce the centrality of Christ in supporting mental health, ultimately building a more inclusive community.
