WISCONSIN UNITED
for MENTAL HEALTH

Evidence is growing of the value that faith-based organizations offer to people with mental illnesses.

Faith-based communities often contribute to recovery by promoting hope and by offering solace and comfort in troubled times; and many consumers acknowledge the positive impact of spirituality and faith on their recovery and ability to cope with life's stresses.

However, not all faith-based organizations are equally knowledgeable about how best to serve people with mental health disorders.  The ADS Center has materials you can use to help increase awareness and educate about mental illness at: Faith & Spirituality
