| Résumé: | People often seek counsel from clergy before they seek help from mental health professionals. There is a need for clergy to have a way to make referrals to clinicians, and for clinicians to have a familiarity with the multiple roles of clergy and religion. Collaboration between clinicians and religious congregations provides a way to initiate and sustain continuities of mental health care. As a pilot study for a project on applying the Clergy Outreach and Professional Engagement (COPE) model in Sweden, a focus group with licenced psychologists and pastoral care givers was conducted. Transcript was analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Findings included a need for knowledge and a need for collaboration. Barriers for collaboration concerned ministers’ vow of silence and a lack of resources within primary care and psychiatry. There is a need to further discussion regarding confidentiality within the Church, and to address structural barriers within mental health care. |
