May 6, 2022

On the cover: The growing technology-induced isolation of the digital age and the COVID-19 pandemic have combined to accelerate a modern mental health meltdown. On Page 10, Elise Ureneck reports on the crisis’ wide-ranging toll and what the Church’s “field hospital” response looks like. On Page 14, Tom Hoffarth shows us how a budding mental health ministry born out of painful personal experiences is taking root in local parishes.
