Warm Invitation: Mental Health Day of Prayer, Tomorrow, Oct.5, 2021 @7:30 a.m

Dear Allies in Healing & Wellness,
The California Mental Health & Spirituality Initiative warmly invites you to begin your day on Tuesday, October 5th, at 7:30AM with a time of prayers offered by Faith Leaders of diverse traditions from all over our state.

The purpose of this event each year is to honor, increase understanding and  support of, and to decrease stigma towards individuals and families who are navigating the often very painful and complex difficulties of mental health challenges. Robust research in recent decades has shown that people’s own spiritual beliefs and practices, and especially from our own diverse cultural traditions, can often be a HUGE asset in our efforts to survive, recover, and “come home to” our own intrinsic wellness in a mental health healing journey.

Please join us to hear Faith Leaders from numerous diverse Traditions pray for the well-being of those among us (one in five Americans) navigating mental health challenges, and others in need of prayer and understanding, especially those impacted by COVID-19, and our families, and the many dedicated providers, faith communities and friends who walk alongside us on these paths of HOPE.

This will be a community gathering of much needed encouragement and support. This is a statewide event open to all; including individuals living with mental illness, their families and those who love them, community members, faith leaders, mental health providers, and legislators. Please DO share this Flyer and invitation, with this note or your own note, among your networks ~ ALL beliefs are included and welcome ~ thank you. 🙂
