EP313 - Digital & Mental Health - Depression, suicide and crisis

  • Resumen

  • Have you considered mental health within digital spaces, especially in the context of depression, suicide, and crisis support? In this discussion we will be offering real, practical insights grounded in empathy and community. Our conversation includes personal stories of suicidal thoughts and highlights the vital role of professional counseling and close-knit support systems. We look at how digital ministry can be a lifeline, focusing on compassionate communication, prayer, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We also confront myths around suicide, like the dangerous belief that asking about it plants the idea, emphasizing that honest conversations can save lives. Throughout the discussion, we identify clear signs of depression and suicidal risk—like withdrawal, emotional numbness, and reckless behavior. We provide practical tips for having hard conversations, like using "I" statements and truly listening, without rushing to offer advice or encouragement too soon. We also acknowledge the weight of supporting someone in crisis, addressing the impact of secondhand trauma and the need for self-care. We explore how the church must engage in digital spaces to break the silence around mental health. By leveraging platforms like social media and online communities, the church can move beyond traditional walls, combat stigma, and provide critical resources to those in need.
