“It [MHAPS] was experiencing high need with around five to seven new clients walking through its door every week in October- November last year, but that has now doubled to 10-15,” it says in the article called “Mental health woes double.” (Northern Advocate, Friday, June 3, 2016)
Mental Health Advocacy and Peer Support (MHAPS) helps people with mental health issues and is a non-government organisation.
People “‘just can’t deal with it anymore,'” said the manager of MHAPS.
People have to deal with four main things:
Post-quake stress,
Insurance woes,
Relationship issues and
Service cuts.
There are doors and there is one door. In John 10:9 the Lord Jesus Christ says:
“I AM THE DOOR.”
The Lord Jesus Christ is the door into the true church. I have access through Him to God Himself.
Where would I be if I would not know that and believe it? Would I be perhaps belong to those people who would walk through the doors of MHAPS?
