Nursing's Critical Role in the Shifting Landscape of Mental Health

ABSTRACT: By 2020, mental and substance use disorders will surpass all physical diseases as a major cause of disability in the United States.

Faith community nurses and faith congregations have particular opportunities to address this overwhelming need.
