Mental Illness & Brain Disorders

Jesus' ministry was one of total acceptance and love.  As the church, we emulate Jesus' love and way of life as we care for those people living with and affected by mental illness and brain disorders. 

The Lutheran Network on Mental Illness/Brain Disorders is a joint program of the ELCA and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) which assist faith communities to work effectively with persons with mental illness/brain disorders and their families, to educate about mental illness/brain disorders, and to combat stigma.

The message of the LNMI is that all God's people must embody Jesus' example of total love and acceptance of those who are living with mental illness and brain disorders and also of their families. LNMI/BD also puts out a useful quarterly newsletter.
