Mental Health Monday: Role of Pastors and Mental Health Professionals


Listen Later

What is the role and scope of a pastor or a mental health professional when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis? Stephen M. Saunders, PhD, Schneider Endowed Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Marquette University, and author of Martin Luther on Mental Health: Practical Advice for Christians Today available from Concordia Publishing House, joins Andy, Sarah, and guest co-host Deaconess Tiffany Manor to talk about the scope of help a pastor or church worker might offer to one experiencing a mental health problem, the scope of a mental health professional when it comes to mental health and faith, why it's important to understand and respect these distinctions, what congregations can do to be helpful in caring for those with mental health problems, and what congregations can do to address the stigma of mental health problems and mental illness. Find more information on NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness) at nami.org.
