Faithful Advocacy and the Foundations of Mental Health

About the podcast

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with **Dr. Elena Torres**, Director of Mental Health Policy, and **David**, a faith-based public policy consultant, to explore how a nation’s **mental health strategy** reflects its deepest moral and philosophical foundations. Starting from the vision of a healthy and resilient society, the conversation works backward — through citizen awareness, moral alignment, governmental structure, and worldview — until it reaches the ultimate question: On what truth is this policy built — human reason or divine revelation? Through the lens of the new **Protective and Promotive Mental Health Policy**, Dr. Torres and David uncover how laws and public systems shape national well-being, and why lasting transformation requires more than clinical care or social reform — it requires a foundation rooted in the **sanctity of life** and **God’s truth about human dignity**. This episode is a journey through **public policy, theology, and nation-building**, inviting listeners to reflect on how true mental health — and true national flourishing — emerge when governance aligns with God’s design for humanity. Perfect for leaders, policymakers, and anyone passionate about integrating faith and public life.
