Emailing Elder Holland about a Bipolar Disorder

[aelaruazol]

Does anyone know how to send an email to Elder Holland? I have a friend who has a Bipolar 1 and she has been struggling with a very sensitive topic and we just need an answer.

You should speak to your local leaders for guidance. Specifically, follow the instruction found in General Handbook, 38.8.24.

Members’ Communication with Church Headquarters

Church members are discouraged from calling, emailing, or writing letters to General Authorities about doctrinal questions, personal challenges, or requests. Responding personally would make it difficult for General Authorities to fulfill their duties. Members are encouraged to reach out to their local leaders, including their Relief Society or elders quorum president, when seeking spiritual guidance (see 31.3).

In most cases, correspondence from members to General Authorities will be referred back to local leaders. A stake president who needs clarification about doctrinal or other Church matters may write in behalf of members to the First Presidency.
