Theology and Mental Health Seminar

Amid today’s mental health crisis, the world hungers for answers to urgent questions: Why is mental health, especially of young people, worsening? Are counseling and psychiatric medication effective treatments, and how should we discern when to use them? What factors protect against the development of mental illness and encourage genuine human flourishing? Christianity's teachings about body, soul, sin, suffering, and personhood provide a unique and vital perspective on these questions, both theoretical and practical. In this six-week seminar, explore these issues under the guidance of Dr. Warren Kinghorn, a Duke professor, psychiatrist, and theologian, along with other guest teachers, including research psychologists and practicing counselors. We'll learn from their expertise and discuss your questions over shared meals at the CCS House.
