There is, we are often told, a mental health crisis in the country. From my limited interactions with people, I can believe it.

For sure, it’s a theory that’s difficult to validate and even harder to explain, but anyone stuck into church life will recognise that there is a greater and greater need to understand and minister to those struggling with mental health.
