In honour of Mental Health Awareness Week in New Zealand, this episode is an important conversation around the power of hopeful thinking.
Hope is a clear theme throughout the Bible.
Hope is a clear theme in positive psychology.
Hope is a clear theme in mental wellbeing.
So, how could hope become our anchor this week? What can we learn from scripture and from science to incorporate into our lives to raise our level of optimism, which then raises our overall level of wellbeing?
*Please note: In this conversation, we will talk about suicide / suicidal ideation and how hope acts as a buffer against it. No personal stories or details are shared here, I will simply mention the research and the power of hope in combatting this.
God bless,
Darcie
