Through vivid and powerful storytelling, Blessed Youth: Breaking the Silence about Mental Health with Children and Teens helps to remove the barriers of stigma and shame associated with mental illness in children and teens. Readers will discover they are not alone and be reminded of God's grace and loving presence in the midst of the heartache and struggle of mental illness. In addition to stories of children and youth experiencing mental health challenges, this book includes practical resources such as prayers and a guide for having age-appropriate talks with children about warning signs and how to get help for themselves and friends. Ultimately, this important resource offers hope and help for everyone who loves a child or youth with mental health challenges. The Blessed Youth Survival Guide is a pocket-size companion guide for youth.

As a pastor I have started a monthly day of prayer where I go to a local retreat center and have a day of silence. I find that that’s really crucial for my own sense of grounding and creating space to discern and to listen to the spirit. — Sarah Griffith Lund
Some of the resources and authors we mention in this episode:
