| Abstract | Mental health problems have become prevalent concern that affects individuals, groups, and communities significantly. Social workers and faith leaders are often the first point of contact when individuals and families face mental health problems or traumatic events. While social work is known for its role in promoting mental health and preventing mental health problems, faith-based organizations can play an important role in supporting individuals and families experiencing mental health problems and encouraging them to seek help. Faith-based interventions appear to be a culturally sensitive way to address mental health problems. Drawing on secondary data and the author’s research on mental health related issues in rural arears, this paper explores the opportunities that can be created because of collaboration between social work and faith-based organizations. It will analyze their role in dealing with mental health problems. The paper will also explore how this collaboration can strengthen response to mental health problems. |
