Mental Health Awareness Month
CR has always sought to a safe place for all hurts, habits and hang-ups. We know that we need be safe for all struggles, including mental health. May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
CR has a mental health ministry whose purpose is to raise awareness of mental health and create a safe place to continue conversations and to support mental health through the implementation of Mental Health Champions at each CR location. Their purpose is to encourage Christ-centered sponsorship, provide tools such as mental health forums, the Mental Health Agreement form, and the CR Suicide Protocol. These tools help equip our leaders and sponsors to effectively walk alongside our participants struggling with mental health concerns.
Celebrate Recovery is not a replacement for professional counseling, therapy, and/or medical treatment. We provide encouragement and support to supplement those efforts.
Living with mental health issues can be difficult. However, learning to walk in mental health recovery gives us hope. Living one day at a time, one moment at a time, implementing the 8 Principles and 12 Steps, it is possible to live in peace and joy.
Jesus cares about our mental health. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) He tells us "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
There could not be better time for our CR to do our part to raise awareness of mental illness, fight discrimination and provide support to those with any mental health struggle.
Leaders Focus Question:
How has working your recovery steps helped you with mental health struggles?

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.”
Galatians 3:26
2. I will submit to the will of God in my life, knowing that while I may not understand the reasons for why I have a mental health issue, God is in control and if I let Him work in my life, He will do what is best for me in my circumstance.
...know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 ESV
3. I will share my victories and my struggles with someone I trust on a consistent basis. In doing so I refuse to live in isolation from others.
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 NLT
