Abstract
This research aims to identify how traumatic experiences in the Christian Church effect mental health. To gain valid and reliable information for our research, we will analyze peer reviewed articles, mental health organization data, and personal experiences for members of the church community such as LGBTQ+, women, and adolescents. Our objective is to raise awareness on the various practices within the Christian Church contributing to psychological distress. This research aims to bring awareness to delicate events in the church community that are not often talked about. We hope to contribute to ongoing research to improve religious accountability and mental health support.
