Abstract:
|
There is surmounting evidence that spirituality and religion can contribute to an
individual's wellbeing. Among persons with psychiatric disabilities, spiritual and
religious beliefs are related with improved mental health outcomes. Despite the emerging
literature supporting this positive association, spiritual and religious assessments and
interventions are not included as part of therapy or treatment by the Placer County Adult
System of Care. The purpose of this study is to explore the research and examine the
impact of spiritual and religious coping in adults currently receiving mental health
services. The results of this study demonstrate that consumers place a high value on the
spiritual and religious dimensions of their lives and point to the potential benefits of this
underutilized resource. |
