Discern and care for The Church's "invisible epidemic" of mental health ..".the Black Church is still lagging behind when it comes to mental health support. This is a brilliant piece of work withpromise to provide help and facilitate healing for African-Americans and the community-at-large." Jameisha (Meisha) Brown, PhD(c), M.S., CHES, Health Minister
Mental health is rarely spoken of in African-American congregations. It's often whispered about during prayer circles or kept behind a counselor's closed door. For many pastors, grappling with the topic from the pulpit is either unthinkable or unnecessary.
Struggling with mental health still holds a stigma of shame for believers--one that can keep you from admitting a problem even exists while your life falls apart.
With scenarios drawn from community stories and Biblical examples alike, Dr. Bill Reese applies wisdom and compassion to tackle the complex issues of emotional and mental wellness in the context of the church.
The church can be a safe place for those seeking mental health solutions--starting today

Описание: This handbook is designed for researchers, mental health professionals, policy makers, and others who are seeking to understand and reduce stigma, with the goal to help people who need mental health care to access it more readily. A one-stop resource for various interventions and their evidence.
Some Christians experience a degree of internal conflict when it comes to seeking help for medical issues. On one hand, they believe in God for their healing. On the other, they acknowledge that they are dealing with symptoms and conditions that could be treated by medical professionals. The challenge then becomes reconciling their faith with their efforts to be well and healthy.
From my observations, there have been great strides in Christian thinking regarding seeking help for physical health problems. However, this does not seem to be the case when it comes to mental health issues including depression. From my professional experiences as a psychiatrist and in my personal walk as a Christian, I have observed what appears to be a stigma when it comes to depression. Some Christians may believe that they should never be depressed, and if they are, it indicates some failure of their faith or weakness thereof. Some feel embarrassed about having depression and, therefore, are reluctant to seek help for it, if they do at all. They may feel that the very act of seeking professional help also indicates weakness in their faith. Therefore, they resolve to deal with depression strictly by spiritual means e.g. prayer and Bible reading.
In this book, I address this stigma that exists among Christians when it comes to depression. My intention is to dispel myths about depression and to get people to understand that it is a condition to which we are all vulnerable. I also hope to increase people's understanding of God's will that we have healthy minds as well as healthy bodies. Depression need not be a condition that people deal with in silence given that there is help available for it.
