Currently operating in seven churches across San Antonio, The Collective equips and builds the capacity of churches to identify early signs of depression and anxiety and effectively deliver proven mental health interventions. The aim is not to turn churches into clinics nor their congregants into clinicians, rather to equip churches to be safe places and serve as trusted extenders of the mental health care delivery system. We have partnered with UT Health and Harvard Medical School to develop a community-informed approach. We use input from churches and the communities they serve to inform program design and training methods, and we collect and analyze data to demonstrate impact and measure public health outcomes.
