In response to popular demand, Dr. Grant Mullen and his wife, Mrs. Kathy Mullen, will be visiting Japan once again in September 2026.
Today, many people face mental health challenges due to factors such as weakened human connections, anxiety about the future, and excessive stress. In addition to depression, anxiety, and low moods, there are also many who struggle with interpersonal conflicts, trauma, and loneliness.
In this seminar, we will explore the relationship between mental health and the inner and spiritual dimensions of life, from the perspectives of medicine, psychology, and the Bible. Drawing on extensive experience as a mental health physician, Dr. Mullen will help participants understand emotional wounds and inner pain and offer practical insights for moving toward true healing and freedom. People of all backgrounds and faiths are welcome to attend.
