Insight for Life

This seminar will be particularly helpful for anyone who has experienced the unique challenges of dealing with a friend or a loved one who suffers from depression. Drawing on scientific evidence, clinical insight and biblical wisdom, we will consider how family and friends can most helpfully offer care and concern for depressed loved ones while avoiding some common pitfalls.

Dr. Stephen Swallow is a registered psychologist and director of the Oakville Centre for Cognitive Therapy in Oakville, Ontario–a private clinic specializing in the assessment and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.

Dr. Swallow’s presentation is now available.

Mental illness afflicts one in four Canadians.  Depression and anxiety represent the most common forms of emotional distress. The toll that these difficulties take on families and individuals—and indeed on society as a whole—is inestimable.  In this seminar, we will consider what both current scientific research and the Bible teaches us about the causes, the cures and the prevention of these devastating disorders.
