Disability, Mental Health, and the Church

This study explores the church experiences and faith of young adults with diagnosed disabilities, mental health conditions, and/or chronic illnesses. Our research team has completed the interview process and is now analyzing the data. We look forward to sharing the findings soon, so check back often. 

Participants met the following criteria:

• Aged 18-25 years old
• Live in Central Texas
• Have a disability, mental health condition, or chronic illness
• Currently attend a church (or did so as a teenager or young adult)

This study is part of the Bridges to Belonging project with George W. Truett Theological Seminary, the Baylor Center for Developmental Disabilities (BCDD), and the Center for Church and Community Impact (C3i).
