Mental Health in the Church

Mental health in the church refers to recognizing and supporting the emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being of individuals within the faith community. It involves offering compassion, understanding, and appropriate resources for those experiencing mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, or stress. Churches can provide a safe space for open dialogue, reduce stigma, and connect individuals to professional help when needed. Emphasizing holistic care—addressing both spiritual and mental health—aligns with the church’s mission to nurture well-being and foster a compassionate community that supports healing and resilience.
