Any time suicide is in the news, we're filled with a sense of loss. We mourn the loss of what might have been, and we grieve the loss of gifts and talents. Whether it's a celebrity or someone closer to home, suicide is always a tragedy.
With depression and suicide in the news again in the wake of Robin Williams' death, let's take time to learn more about mental illness. Mental illness is far more prevalent than many realize, and there's a good chance you have or will have a group member who struggles.
SmallGroups.com has a training tool plus several articles and Bible studies to help you learn more about these important topics. Use these resources on your own, or, better yet, with your small group.
