On this episode of Faith Beyond Limits, we discuss a topic considered taboo in church today: mental health. Our guest is Sheena Torres-Nunez, a licensed practitioner under the Florida State Health Department. We will discuss the ACE Score and the importance of addressing mental health. We need to learn to say, "What happened to you?" instead of "What's wrong with you?" We will learn about The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Score, a tool used to measure the total amount of stress experienced during childhood, which can have a significant impact on mental health outcomes later in life. Torres-Nunez emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing these experiences rather than simply treating the symptoms of mental illness. Additionally, the episode mentions the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) organization, which is dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by mental illness and advocating for improved mental health care. By raising awareness and reducing stigma surrounding mental illness, organizations like NAMI and conversations like those on the Dr. Phil podcast can help promote a more compassionate and effective approach to addressing mental health.
