Breaking the Stigma: The Church’s Role in Mental Health

In this impactful episode, John Prust—Director of the Office for Family Life and Spirituality in the Diocese of San Diego—shares how the Church can compassionately respond to the mental health crisis.

From simply being present to launching parish-based ministries, he offers practical steps rooted in faith and love. We also dive into the urgent need to break the stigma around mental illness in our pews—so no one suffers in silence.

Take the next step: Attend the Mental Health Ministry 101 workshops on May 20 & 27, 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the Diocesan Pastoral Center. These free sessions will equip you and your parish to start or strengthen a mental health ministry.
