Spiritual Care

Dedicated to the well-being of our patients and their families

For people of all religious beliefs and for those without a faith community, Spiritual Care is part of our multidisciplinary team approach, dedicated to the well-being of our patients and their families.

How spiritual care can help

As members of the health care team, Spiritual Care practitioners are trained to respond to persons who are experiencing distress by:

  • Listening and facilitating communication
  • Assessing spiritual needs and concerns
  • Providing spiritual care and counselling
  • Supporting those facing crisis situations
  • Exploring faith and mortality
  • Contacting faith community representatives when requested
  • Exploring possibilities for reconciliation
  • Leading support groups
  • Guiding through the grief process

Due to changes in Spiritual Care, there is no longer a spiritual care practitioner at every site. Volunteer Resources continues to provide spiritual care volunteers. Because spiritual support is unique to each community, resources may vary from site to site. For any questions related to Spiritual Care, please contact Volunteer Resources.

Caring for the Whole Person. Healing. Meaning. Accepting. Reconciling.
