Overview
Mental health is the least developed and most neglected area of health care in developing countries, and believers there, like anywhere in the world, are not exempt from experiencing the full range of mental and emotional disorders, as well as marital and family difficulties. However, given the extreme scarcity of mental health professionals and services available, and the resources to develop and support them, the authors contend that these needs within and beyond the church will only be met through a comprehensive lay counselor training approach. Since many Christians in developing countries also view counseling as a potential outreach and evangelistic tool, such a training program holds unlimited possibilities. Indeed, the need and demands for skilled, knowledgeable lay counselors within the local church and larger Christian community around the world have never been greater. This book outlines a training-the-trainers program that is currently being implemented in South and Southeast Asia by the first and second author. Our belief is that any part of this program can be adapted to trainers and trainees in various parts of the world where Christian organizations and church bodies in host countries request the training. In following Jesus command to feed my sheep , Christians are in a unique position to be leaders in addressing the mental health needs of people in their church bodies, mission and development organizations, and respective communities.
