Mental health issues in our city, like many major urban areas, are a significant concern that deserves increased attention and support. The city's diverse population faces a range of mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to more severe conditions, often exacerbated by socioeconomic disparities, access to care, and other stressors. Access to mental health services and resources can be limited for some communities, leading to disparities in diagnosis and treatment. Houston has made strides in community-based mental health initiatives, increased awareness, and the expansion of mental health care facilities. However, the demand for services continues to outstrip available resources. Churches play a key role alongside mental health professionals in helping people thrive emotionally and socially as they pursue spiritual maturity. Join us for a conversation among mental health professionals, counselors and churches who are engaging these issues in their communities.
