Abstract EN
Collaborations between healthcare and faith-based organizations have emerged in the drive to improve access to care.
Little research has examined clergy views on collaborations in the provision of mental healthcare, particularly to children.
The current paper reports survey responses of 25 clergy from diverse religious traditions concerning mental health care in children.
Subjects queried include clergy referral habits, specific knowledge of childhood conditions such as depression and anxiety, past experiences with behavioral health workers, and resources available through their home institutions.
Overall, surveyed clergy support collaborations to improve childhood mental health.
However, they vary considerably in their confidence with recognizing mental illness in children and perceive significant barriers to collaborating with mental health providers.
