The new me…

My name is Lisa Whitfield. I am certified as botha a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I work at an inpatient mental hospital. I wanted to write this blog to help others gain an understanding of mental health and how our spiritual beliefs come together. I am not an expert by any means but my goal is to communicate what I do know about these topics.  I’m learning more as I go every day but I find that there is much misunderstanding within the Church.  I don’t believe that the Church and topics of mental health are mutually exclusive.  I believe we are not pieces and parts but rather we are whole people (body, mind, soul).
