Parent Support Group
Support group begins April 6!
Asbury and Kim Bailey will partner once again to host a 6 week Parent Support Group from April 6 through May 18 (off on April 27), 6:00-7:30 pm in room 109. This is a support group for parents of adolescents living with mental health challenges.
Mental Health First Aid
Asbury Family Ministry has partnered with Kim Bailey, M. Ed., ALC, to offer a semi-annual Mental Health First Aid training day. The class takes a deep look at what happens when your child is struggling or maybe even hospitalized with a mental health issue. It can feel lonely and frightening, but it’s a situation that many in our community find themselves in. If you are interested in attending the fall session in August, or want additional information, please email angie.gongwer@asburybham.org.
Facilitator Kim Bailey, M.Ed., ALC is a licensed local counselor with more than 20 years of experience working with women, youth, and families. She says this to her clients:
“If you are ready to find hope in difficult circumstances, to be empowered to move forward, and to offer yourself grace amidst challenges, I believe you can attain peace by committing to healing and acknowledging your own innate abilities to overcome.”
