NAMI FaithNet Survey July 2009

Welcome to NAMI FaithNet.

Faith and spirituality are essential elements of healing and recovery from any serious medical illness, including mental illness.

Sixty percent of people in emotional distress turn first to their clergy for help and counseling. Yet many clergy feel ill-equipped to provide appropriate support and referrals to persons living with mental illness.

This survey will help us identify contacts for each NAMI affiliate and better understand the needs of NAMI members, clergy and congregations of all faith traditions and help to create welcoming and supportive faith communities for individuals and families living with mental illness.
