During National Mental Illness Awareness Week (Oct. 6-12), Soren & Ever and the Trinity House Community Groups are cited in a new Catholic News Agency article, “Catholic Church Tackles Parental Stress Crisis with Support Programs and Resources.”
Ever told CNA, “Families are overwhelmed often with both parents working and the demands of kids’ schooling and extracurriculars. Social media and the atrophy of faith-filled community further contributes to a sense of FOMO, anxiety, and stress.”
Read the full CNA article about how to combat the parental stress crisis here.
> Take some time to prayerfully reflect on your own responses to stress. In our “Fight, Flight or Freeze & the Path to Healing,” we share some practical suggestions for identifying the deeper causes.
> In “Stop the Spin Cycle with St. Therese,” we share how a moment and lesson from St. Therese’s childhood can help us when we’re stressed out.
> In “The Holy Trinity: Love, Relationships and Obligations,” Bishop Kevin Sweeney quotes a priest friend, “Signs of the Trinity are all around us. We see so many who are drawn into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — which is love — through their complete selfless giving.”
