According to a recent Johns Hopkins study, one in four Americans over the age of 18 currently has a diagnosable mental illness. This staggering percentage poses a challenge for Church ministers, who often feel unequipped to meet the needs of those suffering from mental health issues. Priests and lay ministers of the Paterson Diocese are strongly encouraged to equip themselves with an understanding of mental health challenges, how to lovingly care for those afflicted, and how to properly help them advance in their spiritual life. The keynote presenter, Deacon Ed Shoener, is the founder of the The Katie Foundation: Shining a Light on Mental Illness and an expert on this subject.
