At University Park United Methodist Church we believe that good mental health is a critical part of God’s design for our flourishing as individuals and as a community. We recognize that our community and nation are in the midst of a mental health crisis. We are committed to walking with you on your journey and our hope for this list of mental health resources will serve as the first steps for us as we journey together toward a community that is flourishing in body, mind, spirit, and soul.
Whether you're looking for educational materials, professional counseling services, helplines, or support groups, we strive to connect you with the necessary tools to navigate your mental health journey.
We believe that seeking help is a sign of strength, and there is no shame in reaching out for support. Our carefully curated resources aim to destigmatize mental health and promote open conversations within our community. We encourage you to explore these resources and discover the valuable assistance they offer.
At UPUMC we are here to walk alongside you during difficult times. If you need further guidance or would like to speak with a clergy person or a staff member, please don't hesitate to reach out. Remember, you are not alone; together we can find healing and hope.
