Upper School students broke into small groups during Thursday's chapel for a "Hard Topics" series presented by members of the Whitefield community and area leaders. Each student attended two sessions and had the opportunity to hear testimonies from others who had experienced hard times during their lives.
Topics covered included mental illness, depression, grief and loss, crime and violence, and substance abuse.
Community speakers included Pastor 7 Wells, Founder of 7 Bridges to Recovery, a rehabilitation ministry; Mr. Rand Eberhard, Director of Student Ministries at Northside Church in Atlanta, and Mr. Dan Wilson of the Harvest USA ministry.
