TOWARDS
MENTAL HEALTH WITHIN THE CHURCH OF IRELAND COMMUNITY
INTRODUCTION
The Church of Ireland recently announced a major three-year,
all-island, mental health promotion programme entitled ?_Mental
Health Promotion across the Church of Ireland and Wider Community_?.
The project aims to transform the understanding of, attitudes towards,
and responses to mental health within the Church of Ireland and the
wider community. It has been made possible by a significant grant from
Allchurches Trust ? one of the UK and Ireland?s largest
grant-making charities.
Mental Health promotion is not an exclusively Church of Ireland issue,
but one that impacts the entire community. The project will therefore
seek to actively integrate with other state and voluntary agencies
engaged in mental health promotion.
SCOPE OF WORK
The RCB is seeking to engage a researcher/ team of researchers to
undertake a significant piece of research, commencing in January

and attitudes towards, mental health across the Church of Ireland, and

* PHASE 2 (Spring **Apply on the website**) will assess the impact
of the promotion and training activities, and build a framework to
support the future development of a cohesive, sustainable, Mental
Health strategy for the Church of Ireland

PHASE 1
* Literature review of role of faith organisations in mental health
promotion
* Extensive baseline assessment (both qualitative and quantitative
methods employed) of awareness of, and attitudes towards, mental
health within the Church of Ireland
