Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast - A podcast by Joni and Friends - Thursdays

November is National Family Caregivers Month and this week on the podcast we’re continuing the conversation about caregiving with a focus on how to care for someone with schizophrenia. If you have a loved one afflicted with schizophrenia, you may have wondered about the way forward. Today, Dr. Todd Stryd who serves as a faculty member and counseling coordinator at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation is sharing a road map for how to live with hope and compassion in the midst of schizophrenia. Through his experience as a hospital chaplain, crisis worker, and university counselor, he’s seen how God can empower both you and your loved one to persevere in faith and compassion. Hear how you can advocate for them, encourage their way forward, and connect them to a Christian community.
