How can faith communities and society better respond to mental illness?

Today I post the last question in our conversation on mental health.  You will be able to read the answers to the first two questions in the following posts (I have not yet had a chance to collate the replies to the second one). You can also watch the recording of our video conversation with author Amy Simpson.

You can still submit an answer to any of the questions by linking your post to the relevant article and writing a comment there.

Question 1: How has faith shaped our view of mental illness?

Question 2: Suicide and Religious Faith

This week’s question:

How do you think that faith communities and society as a whole can better respond to mental illness?
