Religion and Mental Health is a symposium for clergy and spiritual caregivers to explore and discuss this intersection. Participants will learn tips to navigate these issues from a psychiatrist and clergy who specialize in working with people with mental illness.
Topics Include:
- Recognizing symptoms of common mental illnesses
- Distinguishing between spirituality and psychiatric symptoms
- Meeting the spiritual needs of those with mental illness
