Partnership</h1> <div class="c-article__body--h2 c-wysiwyg"> <p>The Mental Health and Faith Community Partnership is a collaboration between psychiatrists and clergy aimed at fostering a dialogue between two fields, reducing stigma, and accounting for medical and spiritual dimensions as people seek care. The convening organizations are APA, the APA Foundation and the Interfaith Disability Advocacy Coalition, a program of the American Association of People with Disabilities.</p> <p>The partnership provides an opportunity for psychiatrists and the mental health community to learn from spiritual leaders, to whom people often turn in times of mental distress. At the same time it provides an opportunity to improve understanding of the best science and evidence based treatment for psychiatric illnesses among faith leaders and those in the faith community.</p> <h2 class="h2">Resources for Faith Leaders</h2> <div class="mediaBlock"> <figure><img alt="" src="/getmedia/98d65dbb-ad70-42bf-ab4a-1a8f6f665ac0/Faith-Mental-Health-Guide.jpeg" /></figure> <div class="mediaBlock-body"> <h3><a href="/File Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Tool_Kit_2018.pdf" rel="" target="" title="Mental_Health_Guide_Tool_Kit_2018.pdf"><em>Mental Health: A Guide for Faith Leaders</em></a></h3> <p>This guide provides information to help faith leaders work with members of their congregations and their families who are facing mental health challenges.</p> <p><a class="c-btn c-btn--secondary" href="https://www.appi.org/Mental_Health" target="_blank">Purchase <span aria-hidden="true" class="moon-chevron-right"> </span></a></p> <p><a href="/File Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Tool_Kit_2018.pdf" returnvalue="/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Tool_Kit_2018.pdf,,File,_self,,,false,false,false,false,25cb5463-8cc6-4883-9c37-013cc0e369b9,;NoWatch" title="Mental_Health_Guide_Tool_Kit_2018.pdf">Download <span aria-hidden="true" class="moon-download1"> </span></a></p> </div> </div> <hr class="rule--dotted" /> <div class="mediaBlock"> <figure><img alt="" src="/getmedia/e9a5119b-fed2-4b34-9f22-6a493e548da5/Faith-Mental-Quick-Reference.jpeg" /></figure> <div class="mediaBlock-body"> <h3><a href="/File Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Quick_Reference_Guide_2018.pdf" rel="" target="" title="Mental_Health_Guide_Quick_Reference_Guide_2018.pdf">Quick Reference Guide</a></h3> <p>View the quick refrence on Mental Health for Faith Leaders, a companion to the Guide.</p> <p><a class="c-btn c-btn--outline" href="/File Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Quick_Reference_Guide_2018.pdf" returnvalue="/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Cultural-Competency/Mental_Health_Guide_Quick_Reference_Guide_2018.pdf,,File,_self,,,false,false,false,false,95b1d1b9-f372-4a39-ba2f-85089d81d73a,;NoWatch">Download <span aria-hidden="true" class="moon-download1"> </span></a></p> <p class="h-sizeSm"><em>Copyright ©2018 American Psychiatric Association Foundation.
