Fresh Hope for Mental Health

We guide and support those with a mental illness, along with their loved ones, to find hope based upon research. Fresh Hope groups are also online.

We do this through an international network of support groups, coaching, and resources. Fresh Hope is a non-profit organization which is made up of an international network of Christian mental health peer-to-peer support groups. Churches and Ministries sponsor the groups and the facilitators of the groups are certified by the international Fresh Hope office. Plus, Fresh Hope provides all kinds of free resources online: videos, podcasts, free e-books, which empower those who have a mental health diagnosis along with their loved ones, to live well in spite of the mental health challenge they face.

When life is filled with noise, distractions, and worries, there is one truth that sustains the heart: even though I am not in control of anything, God is still in control of everything.

If you struggle with unresolved trauma in your life, we invite you to consider attending our January Trauma Healing Group.
Trauma Healing Groups are approximately 12 hours long and are a safe place to assist people in identifying heart wounds caused by trauma and to provide them with tools to help process and begin to find hope and healing.
Participants are taught both a Biblical view of how to cope with pain and suffering and proven mental health practices. The group's facilitators are Master Facilitators of the Trauma Healing Institute of the American Bible Society.

💙⌛ As the year draws to a close, many of us are reflecting on the moments that defined our 2025. For some, it was a year of triumph. For others, it was a year of silent battles.

At Fresh Hope for Mental Health, we believe no one should have to fight those battles alone.

Before the calendar flips, you have a powerful opportunity to spark hope in someone's life. Your end-of-year gift ensures that our peer-to-peer support groups remain a lifeline for families and individuals navigating mental health challenges.

It’s more than a donation; it’s a message to someone struggling that they are seen, valued, and supported. 🫂

Help us finish the year strong so we can start the next one even stronger.

💔🎄 The holidays are the hardest time of the year for a lot of people. Since we never see the struggles others are carrying, please make kindness your top priority for everyone you run into. 🫂

Your connection to others matters more than you know. Take a few moments to truly check in on your friends and loved ones. That simple action can change someone's day.

😔 If you're the one holding the heavy heart right now, please don't carry this alone.

🙏 When God places an opportunity before you, no opposition, no circumstance, no person can close it. His timing is perfect, and His plans for you cannot be stopped. 💪

If you're facing closed doors right now, trust that He's preparing something better. Keep walking in faith—the door He's opening for you is already waiting.🚪

"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut."
— Revelation 3:7-8 (NIV)

🤍 If you're in a season of waiting—for symptoms to ease, for clarity to return, for just one "better day"—this message is for you:

🕯️ Advent's four candles aren't just beautiful traditions. They're gentle companions for the hard days: Hope that whispers "try again," Peace that says "you can rest," Joy that shows up in the smallest moments, and Love that reminds you who you really are.

Peggy Rice, Hope Coach Trainer, has written something that feels like a warm hug for anyone walking a mental health journey (or loving someone who is). No pretense. No pressure. Just honest, compassionate truth about how God meets us right in the middle of our struggle.

You're not alone in the waiting. And you're so loved, exactly as you are. 💙

Our Story

One out of every five children, teens, and adults in America has a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. And the lives of those who love them are also affected by their mental health challenge. This means that a mental health challenge touches approximately 50% of the American population.

And while the doctor, therapist, and medicine are necessary, they are not enough. Su***de rates continue to rise. The medical (the doctor, therapist, and medicine) aspects of mental health recovery can lead to a type of "learned helplessness."

So, when someone's life is interrupted by mental illness, it can be tough to see a practical way forward with day-to-day life, and a good future seems out of reach. And feelings of hopelessness begin to settle in. This hopelessness can lead to suicidal thinking and even death by su***de.

There is a serious gap between someone receiving the medical treatment for mental illness and them learning how to live well in spite of it. This gap is critical. So, we become the bridge, the guide from the point of diagnosis to living well. The research shows that finding a way to live a hope-filled life can be best caught, not taught, by peers who have "been there" and are now living well. Research also shows that the best antidote for hopelessness is a hope that is rooted in faith.
