Mental Health and Christian Spirituality

The challenges to our mental health such as depression, anxiety and fear are on the increase. You may have struggled in this area or have friends or family that do - it's hard, but believe it or not, Jesus and the Bible have a great deal to say about mental health! 

During this weekend, Dr Kam Wong will explore with us how Christian spirituality and its practices can have both a positive and profound impact on our mental health. Whether you have a specific struggle or are simply looking at ways to improve your mental health, don't miss this special weekend!

Dr Kam Wong has over thirty years experience as a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, with a passion for the often-overlooked intersection of spirituality and psychological wellbeing. He is dedicated to breaking down the stigmas and building bridges between mental health professionals and Christians. His book, Mental Health in Search of Spirituality - A Christian Psychiatrist's Understanding of Fear and Anxiety is a testament to this. He is also a long-standing member of the Ellel Sydney Associate Prayer Ministry Team.
