Due to the social climate in today's world, the prevalence of mental illness is now staggering. In an effort to be part of the solution, Bellevue Baptist Church will host The Rollercoaster Mind—a conference created to better equip healthcare providers, therapists, counselors, and pastors as "first responders" in the recognition and management of those who have mental health issues. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet like-minded professionals, uniting medical groups and counselors to form alliances, using a more holistic form of treatment and referral system.
