All,
I am looking forward to this week’s Stronger Together on Thursday, October 24 at 7 PM ET.
Here is a video that is an interview between the Chief Clinical Officer of a Company called NOCD, which provides online content and access to therapists that specialize in treatments for OCD. The entire video is 47 minutes, but, for the purpose of our discussion,
please watch the first 11 minutes prior to our meeting and then
together we can watch the chapter on “manifestation” (time stamps 16:42 – 20:10). Of course, feel free to watch all of it if you have the time. It is very informative.

Good Morning Stronger Together Friends,
This week I propose discussing the following video that discusses a possible link between childhood emotional trauma and serious addiction. I don’t always agree with conclusions drawn from the proposed videos, but hope they are thought provoking and open up interesting discussions. We will see:}
Here is the video.
Here is the warmup question: If you had to wear a button with a maximum of six words on it describing your outlook on life, what would your button say?

Good Afternoon Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am grateful to Brian for suggesting the topic for our conversation tomorrow. It reminds me of God’s call to St. James’ for the Mental Health Ministry. Since 2018, our mission for the ministry has been to help reduce the silence and stigma that surrounds mental illness and increase compassionate awareness and accurate understanding of it. In the attached short CBS interview, we hear Patrick J. Kennedy who struggles with Bi-polar and his efforts to reduce the persistent stigma leading to silence and shame around mental health problems. Yes, it takes real courage to talk about family and personal problems. As you watch this short interview, please think about what you would like to have done differently as you encountered people with mental illness, including your loved ones.
Please try to watch this video before our meeting, just in case I am not able to to share screen.

Our warm-up question for this week:
What is the hardest thing you have ever done? What was the motivation behind that?
See all of you who can make it tomorrow,

Good morning Stronger Together Group,
We are starting the new format of rotating leaders for the Thursday evening Stronger Together discussion, and I am the first one! Below is the new link we will be using, and you will need to enter the Passcode 11815 to enter the meeting.
This week we will look at a video about homelessness and mental health and how the two intersect. Here is the video we will discuss if you want to view it before the meeting.

See you Thursday.
