Equipping Caregivers and Navigating Depression
Samaritan Counseling Center of Atlanta and First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta have partnered with The Will for Hope Foundation in a great opportunity to learn and connect with one another.
Please join us for an evening of learning as we consider ways to support loved ones struggling with mental illness. As we hear from our keynote speakers, we will be encouraged to nurture our own mental health as well.
Youth (6th grade through college) and adults will gather separately for dinner at 5:30 p.m. Then we’ll come together for our keynote speakers at 6:30 p.m. in Fifield Hall.
Dr. Lauren Edwards, Clinical Psychologist, will then offer clinical insight and lead us into a time for questions.
Throughout the week there will be opportunities to connect in small groups co-led by a therapist with SCCA and a pastor with FPC.
Dinner: 5:30 p.m. ($20/registration required)
Lecture: 6:30 p.m.
