Beyond The Beacon Ep. 106: How to accompany people with a mental health illness

We are facing a mental health crisis with rising distress and illness, especially among youth. In this episode, we explore the connection between faith, mental health, and science, and reflect on what is driving this epidemic and how we can support those affected.

Joining Bishop Kevin Sweeney and Communications Director Jai Agnish are guests Beth Hlabse and Christina Liparini for a remote episode recorded at Saint Elizabeth University in Morris Township.

Hlabse is Program Director of the Fiat Program on Faith and Mental Health at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

Liparini is Assistant Professor of Psychology and Doctoral Program Director at Saint Elizabeth University.
