Caregiver Support

BRING

TO YOUR CHURCH!

Families affected by serious mental illness are often already in your church, quietly carrying heavy burdens.

​

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You don’t need to be experts.

​

You simply need a willingness to step in, walk with people in suffering, and point them to Christ.

What P82 has done for

me, they have brought a group of people together that love God, who have loved ones that struggle with serious mental illness. Mostly it’s the love of Jesus and the support of other Christians.

Pastor, Center Church Gilbert

"The P82 ministry, named after Psalm 82, a psalm that has a focus on the rescue of the poor and needy, is a ministry that touches lives with the hope of the gospel found in the Word of God. The ministry is built to support family care-givers with loved ones that are affected by mental illness. The founders of this
ministry, Matthew and Deborah Geesling, are wonderful people who have a son with severe mental illness.
They are making themselves available to pass onto others the helpful steps they have learned,
walking through their difficult journey with their son."
