Depressed
When a
family member or friend suffers from depression, your support and encouragement
can play
Depression
is a serious but treatable disorder that affects millions of people, from young
to old and from all walks of life. It gets in the way of everyday life, causing
tremendous pain, hurting not just those suffering from it, but also impacting
everyone around them.
If
someone you love is depressed, you may be experiencing any number of difficult
emotions, including helplessness, frustration, anger, fear, guilt, and sadness. These feelings are all normal. It’s not easy dealing with a friend or
family member’s depression. Most of the suicides we hear about are mostly
caused by depression. SPEAP helps these ones…
Displaced
In the
context of emergencies, displaced people are people who have had to leave their
homes as a result of a natural, technological or deliberate event.
Political
turbulence in many regions of the world has increased the number of displaced
people fleeing complex emergencies and disasters. They often end up in large
camps where environmental health measures are insufficient.
Displaced
people include internally displaced people (people who remain in their own
countries) as well as refugees (people who cross international borders).
SPEAP supports the displaced people around the world.
Dampened/Discouraged
Charles Stanley said,
disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I
make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to
trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the
emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness,
all of these are attacks from Satan.
Over 95% of the
population in any country of the world fall into this category. Discouragement
