Faith-based recovery models are available for individuals seeking help with substance use. Combining a Christian recovery program with financial goal setting is a novel approach to enhancing recovery support. This pilot study investigated the effectiveness of a combined faith-based recovery plus financial literacy program.
Bringing Health and Faith to Community
Domestic violence (DV) is a pervasive public health crisis, impacting over 10 million people in the U.S. each year.* Survivors face numerous challenges, from physical injuries to complex mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Healing from the trauma of DV requires holistic support that addresses survivors’ safety, health, economic, and spiritual needs. While DV shelters offer vital services, many struggle to comprehensively meet clients’ diverse needs. Faith and spirituality can play a powerful role in survivors’ resilience and recovery.** However, little research has explored how DV agencies perceive and collaborate with faith-based organizations (FBOs) to provide holistic care. This study interviewed staff from DV shelters to understand their experiences and attitudes toward FBO partnerships.
