Jeff Case is a clinical psychologist, former elders quorum president, return missionary, and gay Mormon. In this interview we primarily focus on the basics a ward leader need to understand about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, personality disorders, suicide, and other mental illnesses. It's a fascinating discussion with best practices of how to help these individuals find a place in the walls of the church and really feel apart of the ward.

We take a few minutes at the end of the episode to discuss what life is like being a gay, married (to a woman), active Mormon.

Listen in.
