Marja Bergen

Avatar photoMarja has worked for many years to reduce the stigma of mental illness. In 2000 she started bringing mental health awareness to the church by organizing two depression seminars for her church. She has written two full-length books and four gift books.

Since 2013 she has sent out weekly Reflections on Scripture addressing the spiritual needs of people living with mental health challenges. Marja is an avid photographer and accompanies these writings with her photographs.
