Hi,
I'm not a Christian, but I suffer mental illness and also live in the UK!
I've been really interested to see the increase in how spirituality is being accepted into mental health services here. We regularly run workshops and networks on Mental Health and sprituality, and have had some truly fascinating speakers.
Today I listed to, and spoke to, the Iman of a local prison. He felt that there was a uge increase in how mental health professionals are now embracing the support that a persons religion can afford them.
I just wondered really whether you do much education with other professionals.. Education and peer support seem to be a huge way for lessons to be learned, and greater understanding of all spirituality is incredibly important in my opinion.
Thanks, Nikki
