Specialized Ministries (613)

This organization helps congregational leaders learn about and provide mental health support and outreach. Based at the University of Notre Dame, the Fiat Program on Faith and Mental Health aims to support congregational leaders through education and research that promotes a deeper understanding of people with mental health struggles and their families.



The Fiat Program’s research embraces an interdisciplinary approach that includes theology, neuroscience, and psychology. It also seeks to involve and create communities of congregational leaders, such as its 2023 Mental Health Ministry Fellows Cohort.
