Spiritual coping is associated with positive mental health outcomes for individuals with serious mental illness, yet spirituality-infused services are seldom offered in public sector mental health agencies. The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health introduced a policy addressing spirituality in 2012. This study explored the breadth and degree to which spirituality-infused activities were being offered in 53 Los Angeles wellness and recovery centers after the policy was widely disseminated. More than 98 % of the centers offered options for spirituality-infused activities; one-third offered spirituality-focused groups. Los Angeles's progress may guide implementation of spirituality-infused services in other state or local public mental health systems.
精神应对与患有严重精神疾病的个体的积极心理健康结果相关，但公共部门心理健康机构很少提供融入精神性的服务。洛杉矶县心理健康部在2012年出台了一项针对精神性的政策。本研究探讨了在该政策广泛传播后，洛杉矶53个健康与康复中心提供融入精神性活动的广度和程度。超过98%的中心提供了融入精神性活动的选项；三分之一的中心提供了以精神性为重点的团体活动。洛杉矶的进展可能会为其他州或地方公共心理健康系统实施融入精神性的服务提供指导。
