Family Grace
The Holy Spirit Mental Health Ministry presents “Family Grace”, a small group program created by Mental Health Grace Alliance.
If you are a family member, spouse, or friend of someone who is experiencing a mental health difficulty, Family Grace is for you. The program is about sharing your story – the experience, the confusion, the pain, and the loneliness. Family Grace is an empowering, grace-filled discipleship experience for personal and community growth. The Grace Alliance has only one vision and one value … “To love them well.”
Beginning October 12th at 7:00pm, we will hold weekly meetings for 6 weeks with a break at the end of November thru early January and then will resume for 8 weeks starting in January.

An example of a typical evening of the program:
Session on “Handling Problems”
*We read Genesis 41:29-40, 46-49 and discuss how Joseph, instead of focusing on what seemed impossible, focused on gleaning wisdom from the Lord to execute a problem-solving plan.
*We learn a problem-solving technique with the acronym – IDEAS.
Identify (Dissect & Decide) – What is the problem? Dissect by identifying smaller issues and choose one issue to focus on at the moment.
Desired Outcomes (Prayer) – Determine the desired outcome to the problem and pray!
Engineer – Brainstorm different ways to address the problem, possible solutions, and the people who can help carry out these solutions.
Adapt – What are the potential roadblocks and how can you navigate around them?
Serve (Pray & Implement) - Pray again for the process. Determine the first tangible step and set a realistic time frame for this to take place.
*We share and discuss what resonates with us based on the chapter material.
