Serita Jakes’ Heartfelt Call for Men’s Mental Health Awareness and Support
Serita Jakes, the wife of Bishop T.D. Jakes, recently shared a heartfelt message reflecting on Bishop Jakes’ on Father’s Day, sermon. The Bishop used the Apostle Paul’s experiences in 2 Corinthiansto highlight the importance of humility during trying times. Serita expressed how deeply this message resonated with her, particularly the emphasis on men not having to endure struggles alone.
In the spirit of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, First Lady Serita urged her followers to think of ways to be more inclusive and supportive of the men in their lives. She invited everyone to share their ideas in the comments, fostering a community of support and understanding.
She also took the opportunity to remind everyone about the Center for Counseling and Behavioral Health. She emphasized that whether you are local or not, their professional and caring team is available to support you. Importantly, the services are free, and she encouraged anyone in need to reach out via email at [email protected].
This call to action aims to create a community where men feel seen, heard, and supported, highlighting the power of humility and the strength found in unity. As Serita beautifully put it, “Your mental health matters, and we are here for you.”
