The Role of Faith-Based Counseling in Enhancing Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being Among the Elderly
Jennifer Akello Owot
Abstract: As the elderly population in the United States continues to expand, concerns regarding the mental health and emotional well-being of older adults have become increasingly prominent. Faith-based counseling addresses these issues by providing spiritual guidance, emotional support, and a sense of purpose. This paper explores the beneficial effects of faith-based counseling on older adults in alleviating anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation while promoting resilience and community involvement. Furthermore, it assesses the broader implications of faith-based mental health interventions on American society, such as decreasing healthcare costs, encouraging intergenerational support, and strengthening community bonds.
