Lumen Christi Institute

This event is presented by the Veritas Forum at the University of Chicago and co-sponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute, the University Bible Fellowship, Christ Church Chicago, Living Hope Church, Vineyard Church Hyde Park, CRU, Poema, the Christian Legal Society, InterVarsity, UChicago Lutheran Campus Ministry, and Brent House.

The isolation of the pandemic has only obscured and amplified the issue of mental health across US college campuses. In marshaling resources to find wholeness and combat isolation, shame, and despair, are students limited to the expertise of mental health experts? Does the wisdom of religious traditions have anything to contribute? Are these in conflict? Join for a discussion on neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual practices with psychiatrist and author Dr. Curt Thompson and Professor Miwa Yasui, moderated by Rev. Cynthia Lindner.
