Though mental health affects us all, there is still a stigma around discussing the issues and getting help. The intersecting impacts of race, gender, faith, and mental health can make it even more complicated to heal and care for yourself. So how can we care for ourselves and the people we love?
In this episode of Faith Talks, Jennifer R. Farmer hosts Dr. Rochelle Johnson to discuss mental health and pastoral and spiritual care. By way of background, Dr. Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker, ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, author and womanist theologian whose work centers on Black women of faith living with clinical depression. We hope you’ll listen, learn and heal with us.
