Did you know George Washington lost more battles than he won? The road to success is paved with failure, defeat, and setbacks. And the only way to lose for good is to quit!
This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants sections 37 through 40. We’ll talk about a theme in the readings regarding hope during times of difficulty. The Lord has promised that all trials will come to an end, but has also commanded us to have hope in the meantime. We’ll review how hope is critical in overcoming mental health challenges. We’ll also discuss a personal story from President Jeffery R. Holland that teaches the power of persistence, hope, and trust when things seem impossible.

Not only will you get access to the free worksheets, but access to many more free strategies to help manage your mental health.
