The Northeastern Minnesota Synod Youth Ministry & Mental Health Initiative Podcasts are designed to help families and faith communities begin conversations on mental health. The goal of these podcasts is to provide education on mental health conditions, and invite further conversations.
The podcast series covers our focus areas of Mental Wellbeing, Anxiety, Depression, Suicide Prevention and Response, and Grief. Each focus area has a podcast for "Equipping Family and Friends" and "Equipping Ministry Leaders." A portion of the teaching for each focus area is the same both the family/friends and ministry leader podcasts, but then moves on to specific content for each audience. We encourage you to listen to both!
