Blessed Are Those Who Pull Teeth: Training & Equipping Through Short-Term Dental Missions

Data on child and adolescent mental disorders across the globe are limited, but prevalence rates vary from 8 to 24%, with treatment gaps up to 99%. In this breakout session, we will explore cultural aspects of child mental health across the globe. How helpful are our “western” diagnoses for children and adolescents in the Global South? Does autism, trauma, depression, etc. look the same across cultures? Are our therapeutic approaches relevant and sustainable? How do we build the capacity of local providers and encourage Christians to provide care and address stigma?

Dramatic change in mid-career may seem too much, but God can and does call certain workers to a new role and prepares their hearts, and their spouses hearts for a new adventure following Him. See how God has prepared the way and worked through career ego, family, professional and personal health and "leaving" issues, as well as personal finances and support -raising and more. 5 healthcare providers and spouses will share experience with a call from a thriving service in North America to a later call to full time mission healthcare and take questions from others seeking discernment.
