Why Churches Must Talk About Mental Health | Light in the Darkness with Tracey White

May 29, 2025

Watch here:

In this heartfelt episode of Community Matters, Tracey White joins Ian in the studio to share her powerful personal and professional journey through trauma, addiction, recovery, and faith. As the leader of the “Light in the Darkness project”, Tracey opens up about the impact of “unfinished business” the unresolved emotional wounds that so many carry silently and how creating safe, honest, and shame-free spaces can bring deep healing.

A qualified mental health nurse with a first-class honours degree, Tracey combines clinical insight with lived experience and a deep Christian faith to lead workshops that help people process pain in community not isolation. From addressing shame in mental health conversations to challenging performative faith culture, this conversation is essential listening for anyone seeking healing, authenticity, or ways to support others more compassionately. 💡
