We offer a Spiritual Support Group for people over the age of 18 who are living with mental health challenges. The group provides a confidential and non-judgmental environment and faith-filled supportive relationships. Spiritual Support Group facilitators provide a listening ear but do not offer counseling or therapy. No sign-up is needed; come whenever you wish.
The Spiritual Support Group meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm at The Church of St Gregory, 330 N Abington Road, Clarks Green PA. Meetings last about 90 minutes.

This 8-session, small-group course explores the realities of mental health and illness and spurs faith-based conversations about these topics. It includes short films, summary presentations of online or print reading material, discussion, and prayer.
