Summary

When family members see a loved one exhibiting symptoms of mental illness, it can be shocking, disorienting, and even traumatizing. Most families are overwhelmed and have no idea where to find support. And when they do reach out, their friends and churches often aren’t sure what to do, what to say, or how to help. Author and speaker Amy Simpson knows this difficult journey well. She has spent years walking alongside a family member with a mental illness. She now educates churches, families, and people helpers about the best ways to provide support for those facing a mental health crisis. Join us as she clears up common misconceptions about mental illness with a biblical understanding of God’s heart for those who struggle.
