Recognizing Emotional or Health Needs

The topic of mental health can be a hot-button issue, whether in the secular setting or within the church. But there is no denying that cases of mental health affect Anabaptist schools.

Millard outlines three primary views on mental health within Christian perspectives, explores how mental health is defined and measured, and offers insight on specific clinical issues and disorders (such as anxiety, depression, OCD, paranoia, and schizophrenia).

The calling of the Christian is to address mental health needs with compassion and love.

“Recognizing Emotional or Health Needs” was presented by Millard Martin at Western Fellowship Teachers’ Institute in August of 2024 at Lighthouse Mennonite School in Halsey, Oregon.
