New Mental Health Ministries DVD ~ Mental Health Ministries: to break the stigma of mental illness ~ Mental Health Ministries e-Spotlight ~ Special Edition for Thursday, 20 February 2014
NEW DVD:
Stories of Healing and Hope: PTSD, Trauma and Suicide
Stories of Healing and Hope: PTSD, Trauma and Suicide DVDMental Health Ministries has released a new DVD to educate faith communities about three important issues; post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma and suicide. With the many natural disasters and other tragic events that have happened in our country, the recent attention to sexual harassment and PTSD among persons serving in the military and the increasing number of suicides occurring for a variety of different reasons, this resource will help congregations in caring and supporting persons affected by these events.
Stories of Healing and Hope: PTSD, Trauma and Suicide includes:
Out of the Ashes: Transforming Trauma 
Two families share their stories of how they coped with the trauma of loss of life and loss of their homes in a firestorm. They share how their faith communities helped them to begin the long road back to healing and hope.
PTSD: Healing and Hope 
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not limited to service members in combat roles. A physician’s assistant who served with the Navy for 25 years treating both military and civilian casualties, including combat field hospitals in Iraq, shares her struggles readjusting to civilian life.
Suicide and Healing After the Death of a Loved One 
An inspirational couple, who lost their son to suicide, shares the story of how their faith community supported them and how they have used their painful experience to reach out to others.
This DVD is available for $14.95 on the Mental Health Ministries website. Click here to see a flyer with details on this resource and information on how to order.
