Faith-based organizations have a unique opportunity to provide the kinds of wraparound services that can help to restore and rebuild lives and livelihoods.

They often are the first place to which people turn when facing life challenges — for themselves or for family members. Faith-based organizations are instrumental in promoting wellness and enhanced quality of life, in treating mental health and substance use disorders, and in preventing relapse.

Many are excellent referral sources and key resource partners for accessing substance misuse and mental health programs.
