The youth-led event, Rock n Run Community gathering was awesome. A group of 50 representing 4 local church youth groups, crossed denominational lines, broke usual routines, and gathered as a community to talk about Christ, health, and wellness.

The result?

Youth and adults engaged in a fun run around the Dyer City Park. And around that track, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students alike shared personal struggles about va**ng and mental health.

This is why we do what we do.

Thank you to Gibson Connect for allowing one of your technical support technicians to come help set up. We appreciate your service to the community. We also appreciate those from Gibson Connect who came out later to participate in the run!

Participating churches wete:
Bethel Baptist, Yorkville
Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian
The Gathering Rutherford
First Assembly Dyer

🧠 What’s on your mind?

1 in 5 teens faces a mental health challenge—
but most never ask for help. 💬 Sometimes, they don’t have the words. Other times, they’re afraid of how you’ll react. https://www.cdc.gov/children-mental-health/data-research/index.html?

🧠 What can parents do?
Say: “I’m here. No pressure.”

You don’t have to fix it.
You just have to be there.

💛 Listening without judgment opens the door for healing.
