Cope
The primary purpose of public mental health is to promote wellbeing. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have found that it is crucial to engage community to improve wellbeing and to support persons at times of stress. The United States Surgeon General has reported on significant debilitation caused by an epidemic of loneliness, contributed to by the loss of social connect…
Does Religious Switching Predict Clergy Longitudinal Spiritual Well-being
Both religious change and religious continuity are associated with stronger levels of religiosity in the laity. Yet, little is known about how they affect the clergy. This study examines the effects of both religious change and continuity on the spiritual well-being of clergy. Using longitudinal data of United Methodist Church (UMC) leaders in the Clergy Health Initiative Survey ( N = 2,050), we categorize pastors into three groups: lifelong memb…
When Shepherds Shed
Maintaining healthy behaviors is challenging. Based upon previous reports that in North Carolina (NC), USA, overweight/obese clergy lost weight during a two-year religiously tailored health intervention, we described trajectories of diet, physical activity, and sleep. We investigated whether behavior changes were associated with weight and use of health-promoting theological messages. Improvements were observed in sleep, calorie-dense food intake…
Supporting the wellness of laity
Religion is a salient part of cultural competence for mental health clinicians. This paper describes rationales for clinicians to work with a less well-known Catholic clergy: permanent deacons. Demographic, personality structure and religious commitment data from nearly 2,000 deacons support collaboration with clinicians to improve the continuity of mental health care. Guidelines for this work are provided by the Clergy Outreach & Professional En…
A prospective study of clergy spiritual well-being, depressive symptoms, and occupational distress
Leaving a covenantal religion
This study explored psychological variables associated with disaffiliation from Orthodox Judaism (a covenantal community), and subsequent wellness. A web-based survey (N = 206) assessed factors previously used to study immigrants: push (distress within origin community), pull (toward destination community), and goal attainment. Psychological wellness, perceived stress, overall health, and loneliness were also assessed. Findings included: (1) stro…
Clergy and mental health clinician collaboration in Sweden
People often seek counsel from clergy before they seek help from mental health professionals. There is a need for clergy to have a way to make referrals to clinicians, and for clinicians to have a familiarity with the multiple roles of clergy and religion. Collaboration between clinicians and religious congregations provides a way to initiate and sustain continuities of mental health care. As a pilot study for a project on applying the Clergy Out…
Disasters, psychological traumas, and religions
This special section in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy: "Religion and Spirituality in the Context of Disaster," demonstrates the heterogeneity and complexities of religion as a variable of psychological resilience in response to disaster. Research from hurricane, flood, and mass shooting disasters are reported. So too is the development of a new measure of disaster response. The section ends with a review of 51 empir…
Chaplaincy and Mental Health in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense
Chaplains play important roles in caring for Veterans and Service members with mental health problems. As part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) Integrated Mental Health Strategy, we used a sequential approach to examining intersections between chaplaincy and mental health by gathering and building upon: 1) input from key subject matter experts; 2) quantitative data from the VA / DoD Chaplain Survey (N = 2…
