    Not saying that they need to be a certified counselor. Saying that they need more training to recognize when someone's issue is not a spiritual one, but more psychological.

    It's good to hear that there are those who recognized that they need more training, that some things are just beyond their pay grade, or in Mormon culture, volunteered time

    The following is not a criticism but an observation. Part of the big problem with this is that bishops are not trained to know the difference. Life JaneDoe said above, a member may go to their bishop with concerns. The bishop may think it has to do with sin, or may think they need to pray more, etc etc. When what really is before him is someone with some form of mental health problem, mood disorders being very common (depression/anxiety/ etc) Bishops need better training, much better training prior to dealing with members of their parish. The whole idea of a bishop receiving inspiration, as true as that may be at times, may also be the very reason for the failures of getting people the help that they need.
