Clergy and mental health
-
- October
- 29
When someone is experiencing symptoms of mental illness, one of the first people they may turn to may be a rabbi, pastor, iman or another member of the clergy.
To try to bridge the gaps between the clergy and mental health professionals, the Mental Health Coalition of Rockland County and NAMI-FAMILYA of Rockland County are holding a luncheon conference, called Clergy and Clinicians Working Together: A MentalHealth Perspective, on November 13 at the Stony Point Center. Â
The luncheon is open to the clergy, mental health workers, patients, family members, and the general public.
Glen Milstein, a psychologist, is the featured speaker. The focus of his research is religion, where he examines, among other things, Â the patterns of counseling and collaboration of clergy and mental health professionals.
Pre-registration is required. The $5 registration fee includes lunch. Walk-ins will be admitted only if seats are  available. For information call 845-359-8787.
