What We Do
Our Focus
Mental health is in fact health. It is paramount that we treat our emotional well-being with as much intention and care, if not more, as we do our physical well-being. The first step to doing this is to learn about our mental wellness so that we can feel comfortable in addressing it.
Education
Our minds are amazing, powerful and complex. The allow us to think, to learn, to move, to feel. What goes on in our minds is key to the overall health of our entire being. Science is learning more and more about how our thoughts positive and negative contribute to our own emotional stability and, thereby, our mental acumen.
The One Lamb Initiatives primary goal and focus is to normalize the topic of mental wellness. Mental wellness can be a scary topic. So much is not understood or misunderstood. As a community and as a society, we’ve endeavored to sweep these issues under the rug, only allowing ourselves to have “hush hush” conversations when necessitated.
The best way to remove the fear is to de-stigmatize the topic and the best way to remove the shame associated with a mental health concern is teach people about the delicate balance of our emotional well-being. One Lamb offers excellent, quality educational programs from experts which explain the different topics of mental wellness from both scientific and spiritual viewpoints.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Psalm 56:3
Connection
As people of faith, we learn from the scriptures that humans are created in the image of God. If we sit back and really think about it, this means that we are incredibly complicated beings, capable of amazing things. Made in the image of God means that we are imbued with emotional and physical abilities when harnessed enable us to spread God's wholeness and goodness to this world. However, at times our emotionally complicated nature makes finding peace and wholeness extremely difficult.
So, when we talk about the majesty of our bodies and our connectedness to one another and to God, we realize that our emotions are the primary driving force for all that we do, say, and feel.
Through the One Lamb Ministry, our goal is to help people realize the pentacle of wholeness with each other and the Spirit as God designed us to be. We do this through learning. Yet, equally important, we focus on the MIND BODY connection as we explore practices like prayer, meditation and mindfulness.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 -10
