GOBY PARTNERSHIP

Are the parents and grandparents in your church asking," How can I tell if my child or grandchild is struggling with mental health issues, and what can I do to help?"

This question reflects a deep concern for the well-being of younger family members. It encompasses both the need to recognize signs of mental distress and the desire to offer effective support. Recognizing the signs can be tricky, as they often vary and can be subtle, especially in children and adolescents. And once they do recognize these signs, parents and grandparents are often seeking guidance on the best ways to approach and support their loved ones, balancing the need for professional help with providing a nurturing and understanding home environment.

Goby Partnership will help you as a Pastor resource your church family with simple, effective, practical tools such as monthly newsletters, parent talk videos, questions, activities, and more!

The most asked question by students and young adults to pastors about mental wellness often revolves around how to reconcile their faith with their mental health struggles. They frequently ask things like, "How can I trust God when I'm feeling so overwhelmed?" or "Does having anxiety or depression mean I lack faith?"

These questions reflect a deep need to understand how their spiritual beliefs fit with the challenges they're facing mentally and emotionally. They're seeking reassurance that it's okay to struggle and that their faith can be a source of strength and comfort, rather than a cause for additional guilt or stress. Pastor, we know you want to be there for your students and young adults. Goby Partnership can help you champion mental wellness in your church and community through monthly newsletters, group questions, 40 I Am videos and more.
