One obstacle is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health inclusion ministries for kids, teens, adults, and their families.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Mental Health and the Church<\/em>, Dr. Stephen Grcevich seeks to put forth a model for a mental health\/trauma inclusion ministry of sufficient flexibility to be implemented by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. This model is based upon an understanding of seven barriers that families of kids, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions face if they seek to regularly attend a local church: ADHD, anxiety disorders, attachment disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and difficulties with social communication\/interaction. The model includes seven broad inclusion strategies for helping persons with common mental health conditions and their families to overcome barriers to active engagement in the full range of ministries offered by the local church.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Grcevich is the principal author of Church4EveryChild, recognized among the Top 15 children&#8217;s ministry blogs in 2013 by Ministry-To-Children.com, and serves as the Program Committee Chairman for Inclusion Fusion, Key Ministry&#8217;s Disability Ministry Web Summit. In March of 2013, he was recognized by Sharecare as one of the top ten online influencers in children&#8217;s mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Grcevich is a physician specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in practice in Chagrin Falls, OH. He is a graduate of Northeastern Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) and trained at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Case Western Reserve University. He is a faculty member at both Case Western and NEOMED and has extensive research experience evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medications prescribed to children and teens for ADHD, anxiety and depression. He has been a featured speaker or presenter at over 35 national and international medical conferences and is a past recipient of the Exemplary Psychiatrist Award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and the &#8220;Psychiatrist of the Year&#8221; award from the Ohio Chapter of NAMI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We encourage you to share this podcast with your<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>friends via your social media connections.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After listening to this podcast, we encourage you to email us at info@FreshHope.us\u00a0with a comment or question that we will share on our next podcast.<\/p>\n<p>If you are listening to this podcast on iTunes, we encourage you to leave a comment regarding the podcast.
