Fighting the Diseases of Poverty

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?

Finances are where worship happens. What you truly believe is really shown through your credit card and bank statements. Many people desire to go overseas, but their aspirations get dashed by the reality of debt or overconsumption. We want to give practical advice of how not to fall into the trap of over-consumerism. Financial strategy can give you the freedom to tithe more generously, live with less anxiety and conflict, and be available to serve locally and internationally.
