Mental Health, CBT And Faith

How can church help those with mental health issues? Are we to stay in the background, fearful of doing more harm than good? Do we get involved by supporting the treatment regime designed by the medical professionals but ignore any spiritual dimension? Or is there some unique contribution that we can make as believers that complements the work of the professionals? This booklet aims to provide a framework in which Christian ministry can support, reinforce and extend the healing available through the medical profession. With sections covering 'mental health wellbeing' and 'cognitive behavioural therapy', the booklet includes teaching on renewing the mind and spiritual strongholds as well as practical advice on ministry.
