However, the multifaced working responsibilities combined with a deep sense of responsibility to one's sacred call can produce a cascade of sources of stress that are not always taken into consideration when assessing ways to support clergy. Using data from the Clergy Health Initiative Longitudinal Survey (CHILS) and in-depth interviews from the Reflections in Ministry project, we categorise clergy into four groups – Flourishing, Burdened but Fulfilled, Languishing, and Distressed. We further explore each mental health profile group, examining the sources of stress experienced by United Methodist clergy. This analysis offers a nuanced understanding of clergy mental health experiences. Findings assist with demystifying approaches to promote clergy well-being, ultimately supporting their mental health and their vital roles in community leadership. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
