The Link Between Mental Health and Domestic Violence with Dr. Twanna House

What is the connection between mental health and domestic violence? How can we better understand the emotional impact of abuse and support those working toward healing?

On this episode of Urban Family Focus, Rev. Jerrold Smith welcomes Dr. Twanna House for an important conversation about mental wellness, domestic violence, and the role families, faith leaders, and communities can play in offering meaningful support.

Dr. House serves as the Director of Programs for NAMI Emerald Coast, covering the Northwest Florida Panhandle. She is a Board-Certified Professional Mental Health Coach and Founder/CEO of Beacon of Hope Champions Ministries, LLC.

She holds a Master of Science in Human Resources Management from Troy University and a Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Counseling from Andersonville Theological Seminary. Dr. House also shares a personal understanding of the mental health journey as a survivor of severe depression after a 30-year battle.

Through her ministry, she works to raise awareness about the relationship between emotional and mental wellness and spiritual growth, while educating and equipping pastors, leaders, and caring citizens to better support people experiencing mental health conditions.

This discussion is an opportunity to listen, learn, and consider how we can create more supportive communities. Mental health challenges do not excuse abusive behavior, and survivors deserve safety, dignity, and care.

If this conversation speaks to you, share it with someone who may benefit from hearing it.
