Therapists and mental health counselors can guide people through some significant challenges in life. Physicians and psychiatrists can also be of help, sometimes with recommendations on medications which can provide benefits for individuals with mental health challenges or illnesses.
On this edition of “Real Answers”, licensed Christian counselor Christopher Anderson offers his professional observations on how medicines and mental health can intertwine and provide a context where counseling can become even more effective. He cautions though that some people who stop taking prescribed medication without a doctor’s advice might see anxiety or depression recur.
Anderson also offers his advice for those Christians who lean against — or who are strongly opposed — to mental health medications. He offers his take on how use of these prescriptions is not contradictory to a faithful Christian lifestyle.
(Important note: All use of such medications are subject to the supervision of a prescribing medical doctor. Be sure to talk with your own personal physician or nurse practitioner regarding limits, recommendations, and appropriate care for you or your family member, especially geared for you unique situation.)
(Therapeutic or pastoral counseling can also be a productive aspect of a person’s process toward recovery or growth.)

“Hometown Heroes” on Family Life
Link Youth Mentorship is a ministry which pairs compassionate, involved adults with young people in the Rochester area.
The program is motivated by a Census statistic that 72% of young people in that city spend at least part of their growing-up years in a single-parent household. While the custodial parents do so much, Link’s vision is that “young men often don’t get the attention and instruction they need to get their best start in life.”
Gary Heydens is the program director there. In this conversation, he talks about the needs and the trends, then shares success stories of what changes are happening in the lives and families of those served through Link Youth Mentorship.

Family Life “Missions Pulse”
While Russian and Ukrainian fighters are on the front lines of what has become a 500-day war in Europe, Christian mission workers are on the “front lines” of helping those civilians caught up in the crossfire. It is not only the deaths and destruction of infrastructure directly related to weapons and bombs, this war created a huge flood disaster when a major dam was breached.
Mission Eurasia is among the ministries seeing to resolve human needs, restore communities, and renew hope. Coordinator Barry Gardner tells us about what is happening as Christians are at work in a war zone. Often, Mission Eurasia emphasizes support and empowerment for local congregations. Hear about the hundreds of thousands of people who are receiving practical help and spiritual witness, even from just one ministry group.
“Missions Pulse” with Abigail Hofland explores the heartbeat of missions through conversations with those at the center of Christ-centered service. Listen alternating Mondays during the Family Life Noon Report, and find our podcasts on FamilyLife.org.
