On May 18, 2024, Christine Bayles, a highly respected Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, was a featured speaker at the Family Wealth Symposium: Mental Health Edition, hosted by The Impact Nation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Her presentation, titled “The Pastor Meets the Therapist to Talk Mental Health,” was a key highlight of the event, where she explored the relationship between mental health and the overall wealth of a family.
Christine’s talk focused on mental health awareness and the importance of recognizing when the “wealth of the family mind” is being depleted. She provided attendees with practical strategies to identify early warning signs of mental health struggles within family systems and encouraged open conversations about mental well-being. By integrating her experience as a counselor, social worker, and Christian, Christine offered a unique perspective that resonated deeply with the audience.
Her session emphasized the vital role that mental health plays in maintaining not only individual well-being but also the collective health of families. Christine’s insights were well received, with attendees leaving the symposium with actionable steps to better support their own families’ mental health and overall resilience.
The event was part of The Impact Nation’s ongoing efforts to promote mental health awareness and provide valuable tools for community members to address family mental health issues before they become crises.
