May as Mental Health Awareness Month frames a conversation with Father Alan Wielinski and Deb Forstner of the Pelican Valley ACC. They discuss why mental health ministry belongs in parish life, addressing stigma, normalizing conversation and integrating faith's gifts of hope and community. The team's efforts include a suicide prevention remembrance and healing Mass, faith formation presentations on bullying, weekly "mental health minutes" in bulletins and emails, a Mental Health Novena, small-group learning using St. Dymphna's Playbook, a community resources brochure and an upcoming talk by psychiatrist Dr. David Mach. They encourage education, prayer intentions and using resources such as 988, reminding listeners they are not alone and help is available.
