We offer support to anyone associated with the trust, whether you are a service-user, family member or carer, a volunteer or a member of staff, to help you find or reconnect with the things in your life that help you to make sense of what is happening and/or which can help you with recovery.
We do this by:
-
offering to listen to you without being critical, judgemental or telling you what to do
-
meeting with you to explore spiritual issues, individually or in groups
-
providing inspirational materials and resources
-
helping to ensure that all in-patient areas have access to space for reflection, prayer and/or meditation in any faith or non-faith tradition
-
training staff in identifying, respecting and addressing spiritual care needs
-
support for special events to celebrate festivals
-
contact/links with local faith communities and training to help them support their members
-
having faith-specific chaplains and support, including religious services of baptism, Sacraments, Holy Communion, funeral or memorial, from a wide range of faiths and traditions.
