Did you know there is a form of psychological research that focuses on how spirituality affects and relates to interpersonal relationships? It is called Relational Spirituality and it has implications for how people experience marriage, parenting, friendship, and other forms of social connections. At the same time, it is has important implications for how we understand faith, forgiveness, and other means of relating to one another. Engaging spirituality has positive implications for individuals with mental illness and their loved ones by enhancing the firm commitment of family, acceptance by family and community, and the possibility for a spiritual process of family renewal. This webinar will discuss this area of research and its implications for treatment and recovery for individuals with mental illness and their loved ones.
