Here is what Fresh Hope is offering during this unprecedented time of stress, uncertainties, and anxiety:
- Every Monday at 8.30 p.m. Central Time Pastor Brad is hosting a Facebook Live Event entitled, “Mental Health Mondays.” He’s covering topics such as anxiety, grief, and trauma, etc. To participate, go to the Fresh Hope for Mental Health Facebook page and scroll down, and you’ll see it there. (Each week, the replay on demand for it is also on the Fresh Hope for Mental Health Facebook page under the video section.
2. Three times a week, we are offering a two-hour session entitled: “Healing the Distress Caused by the COVID-19 Crisis.” The material was created by the Trauma Healing Institute, which is part of the American Bible Society. It’s a two-hour free session in which the participants have the opportunity to work through any anxiety, fears, concerns, trauma, grief that they may be experiencing due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

It’s our desire to help the pastors and ministry leaders to help their members and their community to stay emotionally healthy during this time of isolation.
