Why do the winter months feel heavier for so many?

How can faith support us during seasons of depression, grief, or transition?

What difference does it make when mental-health care and faith work together?

In this month’s episode of Catholicism 101, we’re joined by Ethan Bennett of Abba Healing Services for an honest and hope-filled conversation about mental health during the winter season.

Together, we explore:

• Why the “winter blues” are real—and what’s happening beneath the surface
• How to lean on faith without spiritualizing away depression or grief
• Why integrating therapy and counseling with our faith can be deeply healing
• How to support loved ones walking through seasons of depression, loss, or transition

Whether you’re struggling yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this month's episode of Catholicism 101 aims to offer wisdom, compassion, and practical encouragement through the lens of faith for taking care of your mental health.
