- Provides a sense of security with self and others
- Gives emotional stability in adversity
- Helps us understand society, the good and bad
- Provides social skills for healthy relationships, especially within the family
- Teaches us respect for others
How to establish a healthy faith tradition:
- Reflect on your past.

- Exercise your faith through prayer, reading and meeting with others who share your beliefs.
