Faith is at the centre of our core values, although not necessarily referred to in all our engagements. We know and respect the fact that not all community members are religious.
Faith is an important part of mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
But for those who share our faith values, we can also provide a religiously appropriate support.
Nicole Roberts wrote the following:
“Theologists, scientists and thought leaders have attempted for centuries to understand the impact that religion can have on human beings; both mentally and physically. And it is commonly accepted around that world that religion and spirituality are among the most important of cultural factors – giving structure and meaning to behaviors, value systems and experiences. Thus, there is ample reason to believe that faith in a higher power is associated with health, and in a positive way”

We believe faith has a positive impact on mental health and this has also been a topic for discussion for many scientists, scholars and faith leaders. The below quote is from a the Cambridge journals:
“Proponents of faith-informed therapies need to claim that there is evidence for the benefits of faith on sustaining mental health and well-being, both generally and in adversity. Although it has been claimed that the empirical case for the benefits of faith-based therapy is made, this is far from clear. Religious patients report adverse experiences associated with some faith-congruent spiritual interventions, especially joint praying (Reference Martinez, Smith and BarlowMartinez 2007). There is evidence for the apparent benefit being at least partly due to selection bias and, if not, being restricted to specific groups (Reference Balbuena, Baetz and BowenBalbuena 2014)”.
