Christianity

Good Thinking has collaborated with members of London’s Christian community to create mental wellbeing resources that align with the beliefs and teachings of Christianity.

"See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are.” JOHN 3:1.

With the support of the Church of England, The Catholic Church, Evangelical Alliance and Churches Together, Good Thinking has produced a range of guides and videos to help members of London’s Christian community boost their wellbeing and cope with losing a loved one. Some of these resources are available in various languages.

Christians believe that security in our relationship with our loving creator God is a firm bedrock for sustaining our wellbeing and mental health. The five ways to good mental wellbeing, which are recommended by the NHS, integrate well with everyday Christian practice and pattern of faith.

Good Thinking’s Five ways to good mental wellbeing & Christianity guide provides practical advice on boosting wellbeing through the lens of Christianity and is supported by passages from the Bible.
