Welcome to our class! This course is designed to help you see the connection between principles taught (and lived ) in the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ and how those principles can help each of us with our mental and emotional well-being.
The readings are on this blog with links to churchofjesuschrist.org (mostly). I have also included links to other faith-promoting resources that I have found helpful to my mental and emotional health.
This course is discussion-based; not lecture-based. Each time, we will review current mental and emotional health modalities, link them to principles of the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ and then practice skills associated with the week's modality(ies) and principle(s). That is a lot to do in two 50-minute sessions or one 70-minute session each week, so come prepared ready to discuss and apply.
