Any time suicide is in the news, we're filled with a sense of loss. We mourn the loss of what might have been, and we grieve the loss of gifts and talents. Whether it's a celebrity or someone closer to home, suicide is always a tragedy.
Let's take time to learn more about mental illness before tragedy strikes. Mental illness is far more prevalent than many realize: one in four adults struggle each year. Learn more about the very real struggle and how you can help fellow believers.
ChristianBibleStudies.com offers several articles and Bible studies to help you learn more about these important topics. Use these resources on your own, or, better yet, with a group of fellow believers.
