Islamic Religious Based Mental Health Education: Developing framework for Indonesia mental health policy analysis

摘要

Stigma of mental illness hampers society's ability to respond effectively mental disorder problems. History provides abundance examples of prejudice, discounting, discrediting, and discrimination to people with mental disorders. In order to provide solutions, Indonesia government enacted Law No. 18 of 2014 on mental health. Thus, an integrated or holistic approach is needed to deal with mental health problems. This study aims to provide critical reviews based on religious values in performing mental health education in Indonesia. As a primary data source, a theoretical framework is derived from Islamic scholars' thought, such as Al-Ghazali, as 85% of Indonesians now are muslims. The discussion analyzes health education programs in promotive, preventive, rehabilitative and curative perspective. This study looks at the importance of religious leaders roles in strengthening health efforts in Indonesia.
