Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a webinar titled "The Protective and Healing Role of Spirituality in Mental Health Recovery: Utilizing a Spiritual Health Framework to Improve Patient Engagement." The webinar was part of the Clinical Support System for Serious Mental Illness (CSS-SMI) initiative, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and implemented by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).<br /><br />The webinar aimed to explore the benefits of spirituality in mental health recovery and provide strategies for discussing spirituality with mental health patients. It introduced a spiritual health framework that focused on four aspects: meaning and purpose, values and principles, sense of community, and spiritual practices.<br /><br />The benefits of spirituality in mental health recovery were discussed, including its role in providing meaning, identity, and coping mechanisms. Spirituality was also found to promote other-directedness, release the need for control, encourage forgiveness, and provide hope.<br /><br />The spiritual health framework emphasized the importance of discussing meaning and purpose, values and principles, sense of community, and spiritual practices with patients. These discussions can help patients explore their personal definitions of spirituality, identify their values, find a sense of belonging, and discover spiritual practices that enhance their well-being.<br /><br />The webinar provided resources for further reading, including books and research papers on the topic of spirituality and mental health. It also highlighted the SMI Adviser mobile app, which offers information and expert advice on serious mental illness.<br /><br />Attendees were encouraged to submit questions for a Q&A session and were informed about other SAMHSA initiatives, such as the Addiction Technology Transfer Center, National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, Suicide Prevention Resource Center, Mental Health Technology Transfer Center, and Prevention Technology Transfer Center.<br /><br />The document also provided instructions on how to claim continuing education credits for attending the webinar and promoted an upcoming webinar on the utilization of medication for opioid use disorder.
