Mental Health Resources
The McFarland Lutheran Church Health and Wellness committee regularly posts topical health information in the MLC hallway. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, we will be posting topical information electronically. This is the first installment with a theme of mental health. Here are some resources to help during the epidemic plus some resources dealing with post-partum depression.
