Prestonwood Baptist Church and the American Association of Christian Counselors have joined together to host The River Conference, a gathering designed to equip us all to better help and care for those who are hurting.

The conference will take place at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, on March 27 and 28, and will feature some of the nation's leading experts on mental health, family and relationships, grief, trauma and addiction.

"Prestonwood is delighted to partner with the American Association of Christian Counselors to bring The River Conference to our congregation and community," Dr. Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church said. "This one-of-a-kind, transformative event is designed to equip people to lead themselves and others not just to survive but thrive, especially through the most difficult seasons in life. We're excited to offer a chance for people to interact with tough topics while applying biblical principles."
