Surviving bipolar disorder: A medical and spiritual journey
Bipolar disorder, if not identified or properly diagnosed, can be devastating to the individual as well as to those they love. The good news is that there is hope. For numerous individuals, the inspiration of a loving heavenly Father and guidance from caring professionals has led to, not only management of the illness, but also an abundant and successful life. Thursday, December 11th 2008, Pastors, Chaplains, and other church professionals joined us as Tim Reside, Executive Director of Brighter Tomorrows, shared his unique and inspiring experience of surviving bipolar disorder. The seminar proved to be a great success as attendance was robust and area ministers stayed up to thirty minutes after the presentation asking questions and requesting more information about bipolar disorder.
Brookhaven’s Renewal Christian Care program hosts educational seminars geared toward faith professionals on a quarterly basis. We invite you to attend any of our upcoming free ministerial luncheons. Click here to browse upcoming topics and dates
