Mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. One in five families has a member with a diagnosable mental illness.
The Mental Health Ministry partners with the Diocese of San Diego to support families in the parish experiencing mental health challenges. Catholic families will be introduced to healing professionals and services to facilitate their healing journeys by interfacing with county, local non-profit, and private mental health providers.
Prayerfully supported by parish lay leaders, and receiving professional care, families strive for wholeness and an end to the stigma that still endures when mental health is challenged.
