Online- Summer Retreats
Travel and gatherings are still prohibitive for most of us due to the continued risks and dangers of COVID, so this summer Paraclete Press is bringing the resources you need right to you. We are pleased to announce a new series of full-day online retreats with best-selling authors and teachers on prayer, spirituality, literature, poetry, mysticism, and writing spiritual memoir. Leaders include Fr. Ron Rolheiser, Sybil MacBeth, Msgr. Timothy Verdon, Mark Burrows, Jana Riess, and others.
“In-person” classes have resumed!
We are now able to resume having “in-person” classes. Space is limited and all participants must follow the COVID-19 guidelines. See the guidelines and flyers for more information.
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Did you know?
U.S. House of Representatives announced July as
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Despite measurable advances in health equity, disparities in mental health care persist especially in diverse and/or marginalized communities. When trying to access mental health services, diverse communities have to contend with language barriers; decreased access to care; lower chance of health care coverage; bias and discrimination in treatment settings, in addition to the usual road blocks in an already fragmented health care system.
Many cultures also view mental health treatment as a luxury, considering symptoms a “phase” that will eventually pass. These harmful perceptions of mental illness can further isolate individuals who desperately need help.
Limited access to mental health services and failure to provide culturally competent treatment contribute to poor mental health outcomes including suicide, among ethnic minority populations.
Loaning of Materials COVID-19 Restriction Lifted
We are now able to loan materials and resources for our media option classes and VLCFF classes (DVDs & books). If you would like to complete a media option class or need to borrow reading materials for a VLCFF class, you must contact Elo (erowan@archlou.org or 502-636-0296, ext. 1236) to make arrangements to pick up the materials.
