MENTAL HEALTH MINISTRYHEALING BEGINS WITH COMMUNITY
When people hear the phrase “mental health," many often immediately think of mental health disorders ranging from anxiety and depression, to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. However, most of us do not have a diagnosed mental illness. But all of us experience and cope with mental health every day. On any given day, when we feel stressed and overwhelmed, we may go for a walk, exercise, pray or talk with a friend to ease our mind and relieve the stress. However, there are times that we experience darkness and feel alone and hopeless, with no one to talk to. Taking a walk or exercising doesn't bring relief. When this happens, reach out to the Suicide and Crisis Line at 988. Another resource is to go to www.madisondiocese.org/mentalhealth. You can always reach out to one of the members of our pastorate mental health team: Kathy Bartels, Ann Boyle, Denise Dixon, Bill Manthe and Gail Steiner.Caring For Those Who Have Lost A Loved One To Suicide Suicide touches families, friends, parishes and communities. In all likelihood, we all know someone who has died by suicide. How can we, as people of faith, respond? Join us for an interactive presentation with Laura Sokup, APSW, and Mental Health Program Coordinator for the Diocese of Madison, on how to accompany and support those grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. The presentation will be held on Thursday, September 10, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at St. Clement Catholic Church. Registration is recommended by emailing Bill Manthe at [email protected]. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. For more information, call Bill at 608-642-0762.

Thursday, August 20, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand the thoughts, feelings and the pain you are experiencing. This can lead to isolation, feelings of depression and extreme sadness and sorrow. All of these are normal. Yet, there is support through GriefShare. GriefShare is a 13 session support group for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. A GriefShare session includes an informative video, discussion and sharing. It is said that “grief shared is grief diminished.” Our next GriefShare support group will begin on August 20, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.. We will meet in the St. Clement Parish office meeting room. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to: griefshare.org/findagroup. There you can also find other GriefShare groups in the area (Platteville has one) if our time/dates do not work for you. Contact Marcia Hampton (732-8849) for more information or if you have questions.Read More -
