"Mental Health and the Church: A Book for Pastors and Other Church Leaders" from Christian Faith Publishing author Bishop Terry Haynes is an encouraging message for spiritual leaders that expresses a concern for personal health and well-being.

MEADVILLE, Pa. , Oct. 3, 2022  /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Mental Health and the Church: A Book for Pastors and Other Church Leaders": a potent reminder of the need to care for oneself as well as those in one's charge. "Mental Health and the Church: A Book for Pastors and Other Church Leaders" is the creation of published author Bishop Terry Haynes.

Bishop Haynes shares, "The mental health of individuals regardless of denominational association or spiritual belief is essential to overall spiritual, physical, and mental wellness. Pastors are challenged to provide answers to difficult questions, offer guidance to manage life challenges, and the various concerns of their congregants. Although pastors give themselves to others to improve their wellness, attention to personal needs is often neglected. Compassion fatigue, depression, anxiety, and burnout are factors decreasing the mental wellness of pastors. Self-awareness, self-care, self-disclosure, and help-seeking behavior of pastors and church leaders are essential to decrease the severity and frequency of mental health episodes. Mental health and the church provide information for clergy and church leaders to improve their mental wellness and those they serve."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bishop Terry Haynes's new book will bring a new awareness to the challenges faced by religious leaders who may experience burnout or fatigue during the care of their congregation.

Bishop Haynes shares in hopes of raising recognition so current and future religious leaders can seek out resources for themselves and others.
