FAITH COMMUNITY NURSING – Faith Boyd, RN

October: National Mental Health Awareness Month

A time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote access to compassionate support and treatment.

Try: 10 minutes of silence each morning, focusing on God’s presence.

Scripture Reading with Journaling (Psalm 119:105)
• Encourages mindfulness and gratitude
• Provides moral clarity and purpose
• Research: Journaling about scripture reduces depression and boosts resilience (APA, 2021).
Try: Reflect on one verse daily—what does it reveal about God, self, and others?

Community & Fellowship (Gal 6:2)
• Reduces loneliness and isolation
• Strengthens belonging and support systems
• Research: Faith-based community involvement lowers su***de risk (JAMA Psychiatry, 2020).
Try: Join or start a small prayer or support group.

Sabbath Rest & Rhythms of Renewal (Ex 20:8)

Gratitude Practices Anchored in Faith (1 Thes 5:18)
• Boosts optimism and mood
• Research: Gratitude journaling improves mental health (Greater Good Science Center, 2022).
Try: List 3 things daily you’re thankful for—and thank God for them.

Forgiveness & Letting Go (Luke 6:37)
• Decreases anger and stress
• Increases peace and emotional freedom
• Research: Forgiveness therapy improves mental health (Journal of Psychology & Christianity, 2019).
Try: Name someone you struggle to forgive and ask God for grace to begin.

Serving Others with Purpose (1 Peter 4:10)

• Research: Volunteering linked to greater life satisfaction (APA Monitor, 2021).
Try: Serve in your parish or local ministry this month.

Bonus: Seek professional help without shame.
