Poor mental and emotional health are two of the great crises of our times, and yet most pastors and ministry leaders are not adequately trained or equipped to understand and come alongside the hurting. As a result, our efforts to help those who are wrestling with mental or emotional health struggles are at best inadequate and at worst harmful.

· identify the symptoms of particular mental and emotional health challenges
· express love and support to those who are hurting
· recommend healthy coping strategies
· discern when to offer help and when to refer someone to a mental health professional
With chapters dedicated to common manifestations of mental and emotional distress, including depression, anxiety, trauma, suicide, self-harm, addiction, personality disorders, grief, and more, this will quickly become the go-to resource for ministry leaders who long to offer help to the hurting.
