BACKGROUND
The Mental Health-Clergy Partnership Program established partnerships between institutional (Department of Veterans' Affairs [VA] chaplains, mental health providers) and community (local clergy, parishioners) groups to develop programs to assist rural veterans with mental health needs.
OBJECTIVES
Describe the development, challenges, and lessons learned from the Mental Health-Clergy Partnership Program in three Arkansas towns between 2009 and 2012.
METHODS
Researchers identified three rural Arkansas sites, established local advisory boards, and obtained quantitative ratings of the extent to which partnerships were participatory.
RESULTS
Partnerships seemed to become more participatory over time. Each site developed distinctive programs with variation in fidelity to original program goals. Challenges included developing trust and maintaining racial diversity in local program leadership.
CONCLUSIONS
Academics can partner with local faith communities to create unique programs that benefit the mental health of returning veterans. Research is needed to determine the effectiveness of community based programs, especially relative to typical "top-down" outreach approaches.
背景
心理健康与神职人员合作项目在机构（退伍军人事务部[VA]牧师、心理健康服务提供者）和社区（当地神职人员、教区居民）团体之间建立合作关系，以制定项目来帮助有心理健康需求的农村退伍军人。
目的
描述2009年至2012年期间阿肯色州三个城镇心理健康与神职人员合作项目的发展、挑战及经验教训。
方法
研究人员确定了阿肯色州的三个农村地点，设立了当地咨询委员会，并获得了对合作关系参与程度的量化评分。
结果
随着时间推移，合作关系似乎变得更具参与性。每个地点都制定了独特的项目，在对原始项目目标的忠诚度上存在差异。挑战包括建立信任以及在当地项目领导层中保持种族多样性。
结论
学者可以与当地宗教社区合作创建有益于退伍军人心理健康的独特项目。需要开展研究以确定基于社区的项目的有效性，特别是相对于典型的“自上而下”外展方法的有效性。
