520 |a Faith leaders are often called upon to provide mental health support to their congregants, yet there is limited research on how these leaders experience this aspect of their role. The objective of this study is to understand the experiences of faith leaders who are sought by individuals for mental health support. We report on the findings from a qualitative study based on interviews with faith leaders of different denominations in Ottawa, Canada. The results indicate that faith leaders are asked to provide support for a wide - but not comprehensive - range of mental health issues; that faith leaders experience various challenges in managing role boundaries; and that these leaders believe that training not only in mental health issues, but also on subjects of liability and self-care to maintain their own wellness would be valuable. We address implications for research and practice.
