The Faith Community Nurse can be an important agent in supporting the mental health of individuals during important life transitions by providing social support, spiritual care, referral services, and health education. Faith communities often include individuals of many generations; the young and old, newly married and recently widowed, new parents, and families whose young adults have recently left home. Nurses who provide care in these settings will likely have unique and frequent opportunities to provide mental health services and referrals to individuals experiencing transitions related to crisis, hospitalization, death, and other important life changes. Faith Community Nurses are at the frontline, aiding faith communities in supporting holistic health of the mind, body, and spirit.
信仰社区护士可以通过提供社会支持、精神关怀、转介服务和健康教育，成为支持个人在重要生活转变期间心理健康的重要力量。信仰社区通常包括许多代人；年轻人和老年人、新婚和最近丧偶的人、新父母以及最近成年子女离开家的家庭。在这些环境中提供护理的护士可能会有独特而频繁的机会为经历与危机、住院、死亡和其他重要生活变化相关的过渡的个人提供心理健康服务和转介。信仰社区护士处于第一线，帮助信仰社区支持身心和精神的整体健康。
