No One Should Have To Suffer Alone

Pope Leo XIV has designated mental health ministry as his monthly prayer intention, calling on the Church to serve as a place of welcome and listening for those living with mental illness. The Pope's appeal encourages Catholics to support individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction, noting that many people suffer in silence due to the fear of judgment or misunderstanding.

Catholic Charities Brooklyn & Queens provides counseling and behavioral health services for individuals and families in the Diocese of Brooklyn. Catholic schools in the diocese also work to support the emotional well-being of students.
