Spiritual care

We can provide support during times of trauma, ill health, sadness and grief through:

• non-judgemental, attentive and respectful listening
• talking through questions about meaning, purpose, relationships, life and death and feelings of despair, sadness, loss and grief
• human connectedness and friendship
• facilitation of spiritual and religious care for people whose faith requires liaison with their community
• religious and sacramental care such as prayer, communion or anointing as requested
• mindfulness and meditation
• self-expression through creativity such as music, art or writing.

Spiritual care goes beyond medical treatment and is centred on your needs and beliefs. It does not impose but seeks to listen respectfully and confidentially to promote comfort and healing.

Our team of spiritual care practitioners/chaplains can assess spiritual and religious needs and facilitate support within the community as required.

If you would like to access our services, please ask your nurse, doctor or healthcare professional to request a visit from the team.
