    This qualitative descriptive study explored religious leaders and mental health providers' perceptions and how they describe collaborating to assist clients/faith-community members seeking mental health treatment for emotional well-being. The overarching research question that guided this study was, ‘How do religious leaders and mental health providers describe collaborating to assist clients/faith-community members seeking mental health treatment for emotional well-being? A purposive sample consisting of 10 Protestant religious leaders and ten mental health providers in Atlanta, Georgia. This researcher utilized a demographic questionnaire and semi-structured interviews as data collection
    tools. The researcher conducted ten semi-structured interviews with religious leaders and ten semi-structured interviews with mental health providers. This research study utilized Bronstein’s two part-model of interdisciplinary collaboration as a framework to contextualize the results in the data analysis. A thematic analysis produced six themes to answer the overarching research question. This study revealed that both religious leaders and mental health providers perceive a need for collaboration between religious leaders and mental health providers. However, the definition of collaboration and the perception of the collaborative process differed based on factors such as spiritual involvement, mental
    health involvement, education and training, experience, and beliefs regarding collaboration. Future research should continue exploring collaboration between religious leaders and mental health providers.
