Wounded Warriors of the Cross
Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.

Doomscrolling, also known as doomsurfing, is the term used for persistent and excessive reading of negative news online. The constant bombardment of notifications, social media, and digital content has led to a rise in stress, anxiety, and burnout. The need to “always be on and knowing what is going on” is especially affecting our mental health and relationships. There is emerging recognition that this negative digital world is causing brain rot which is the loss of depth in our thinking ability, contemplation, feelings, and emotions, as well as our relationships in relationships and work. As a new media trauma, doomscrolling has been identified as impacting viewers’ emotional and psychological well-being, self-efficacy, and ability to respond to negative information.
