Episode 60 features a conversation with Meghan DeGregory, director of Thrive 10:10, a non-profit relief, recovery and restoration program of Girard First UMC.
“Mental health is you attending to whatever you’re dealing with, both on your own with your internal coping skills but also with a professional, if necessary,” DeGregory said. “Butwe also need to talk about mental health in the church and sometimes I don’t think we talk about it enough in the church.”
She encourages clergy and laity to empower themselves through education by taking a class.
“Sometimes we have to be a little bit greedy about taking care of ourselves first so that we can then pour out for others – because you can’t pour from an empty cup,” DeGregory stated.
