Religion and mental health are not easy issues to address within the same framework. The unstable boundary between symptoms of psychosis and some forms of religious inspiration is only one element in a complex debate about the relationship between spirituality and mental health. Looks at how the growing evidence of the significance of religious belief to people with mental health problems is raising important questions about the role of spirituality in mental health promotion, the relationship between mental health service providers and spiritual leaders and the attitudes of faith communities to mental health issues.

In response to some of these problems, Mentality's 'Hats Off' campaign adopted a traditional fundraising strategy, based on the hypothesis that, like any other marginalised group, the user/survivor movement is best placed to define and achieve its own empowerment and, with adequate resources, can do so.
