These are stressful times, especially for those who struggle with anxiety and depression.  Your church, workplace, family and circle of friends is likely filled with people who are overwhelmed.  I can help. Over the past several years I have developed a concise and powerful workshop to give strugglers the tools they need to address their battle from biological, psychological, social and spiritual “attack” points.

Here’s what workshop attendees have said…

• I guess I’d describe your talk as the most comprehensive, yet concise, most up-to-date accurate information I’ve ever heard on the subject … and it was delivered in a very engaging way.
• I’ve seen a psychiatrist and a therapist for 2 years.  I got more from this Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Seminar than I have from all of the medication and therapy combined.
• I now feel like I’m finally on the road to a better life – after years of heartache.
• Very useful tools!  I’ve come such a long way in such a short time.  This really helped me understand my depression better.
• I work in the substance abuse field and was so discouraged I was on the verge of relapsing into drinking myself.  I can thank Mike and this course for staying sober!
• The Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Seminar was an answer to prayer.  I had sought help from individual counseling and other support groups, but Dr. Mike Marino provided me with knowledge that I hadn’t received from anyone else.

Workshop hosts have this to say…

We loved having Mike share his workshop at our church.  He packed out the house and gave such practical and helpful guidance to each in attendance.  The Question and Answer time at the end was especially powerful.  I’m grateful for how Mike brings grace and truth to people wanting to grow in all areas of their lives. -Lyle Castellaw, Teaching Pastor, TerraNova Church – Irvine, CA

I have spoken with several people who attended and their feedback was very similar: Great information and very practical tools to help them move forward in their lives. Everyone was grateful that they attended and felt it was time well spent. -Andy Lockridge, Pastor of Care, Church of Celebration – Maricopa, AZ

We hosted a “Freedom from Anxiety and Depression” conference with Dr. Mike Marino.  He was easy to work with in the planning. His materials were practical and insightful. His presentation was organized, engaging and humorous. We had 150 people who attended the conference and the feedback was extremely positive. Your church will love it and benefit from it. -Reggie Thomas, Executive Pastor, Chino Valley Community Church – Chino Hills, CA

The Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Workshop is still being talked about weeks later.  I have had so many people come up to me and thank us for hosting the event.  My favorite part was a 19 year old left the session feeling that there was hope and has taken steps to change his situation.  The way you present Mike keeps everyone engaged and your credibility and compassion shines.  Thank you for doing what you do!   -Sara Silfvast, Women’s Ministry Leader Saddleback Church – Corona, CA.

I am so glad that we offered the Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Workshop at St. Timothy Church; many people who attended told me that it gave them a great bit of information that was understandable, a context for their suffering and the suffering of others, and a hopeful view for the future. The morning was indeed a blessing for all of us.  -Msgr. John Urell, Pastor, St. Timothy Church – Laguna Niguel, CA

Dr. Marino did a great job explaining the complexities of anxiety and depression in clear and relevant ways to us here at Grace.  His warmth and tone also communicated genuine care for anyone struggling with these issues.  Thank you for caring and sharing your insights with us!  -Michael Goacher, Lead Pastor – Grace Community Church of Saddleback Valley

I have had some very positive feedback from those who attended.  Each one shared how much it helped them, and they shared specifically different aspects that gave them insight, hope, and empowerment.  I am thankful for your ministry-minded mentality and servant’s heart.  It is refreshing and a true reflection of what all of us who are in the caring ministry or profession should be. -Pastor Craig Cooper, Foothills Church – Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Little did we know that 200 people would come to this Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Workshop!  Our team got sense that nearly 50% of participants were from our broader community.  It really was a perfect presentation, in which you gave so much helpful content, and so much encouragement to all in attendance.  -Rev. Rachel Hamburger, Trinity United Presbyterian – Santa Ana, CA 

Mike’s program is one of the most popular and effective in our Care Ministries.  I’ve seen the changed lives resulting from this Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Workshop.  -Jim Golding, Care Coordinator of Mariners Church – Irvine, CA

We are continually looking for presenters who can bring hope to the many people suffering from stress, anxiety and other mental illness issues. Mike Marino’s Freedom from Anxiety and Depression Workshop did exactly that. In fact so well that we are bringing him back for another shot. The comments from our last session were “up lifting,” “refreshing,” “very helpful.”   -Steve Fryer, Mental Illness Task Force Leader at St Andrews Presbyterian Church – Newport Beach, CA
