Purpose: Faith community leaders are often the first point of contact when individuals and families face mental and spiritual health issues or traumatic events. In fact, in times of crisis, many will turn to trusted leaders in their faith communities before they turn to mental health professionals. These Faith community leaders include pastors, ministry heads, faith community nurses and health ministers. When leaders know how to respond, they become significant assets to the overall health care system.
