Chaplaincy
What is chaplaincy and spiritual care
Chaplains work alongside people facing difficult and life-changing experiences, including living with mental health issues, and they understand the stresses and strains of what that means.
Chaplaincy offers:
- A chance to talk about your hopes and fears;
- A chance to be listened to, and be heard;
- A chance to be accepted as your are, without judgement;
- Help to make sense of who you are, and where you're going.
For particular faiths, the chaplaincy offers:
- Spiritual guidance;
- Respect for your tradition;
- Contact with the local faith community;
- Support to practise your faith or spiritual tradition.
Who can access the chaplaincy and spiritual care team
- All service users and patients of Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust;
- Carers of the above;
- Staff members.
Do I have to be religious
No, absolutely not. The team is equally happy to provide support to people of any faith, or of no faith.
How do I access the Chaplaincy service
The Chaplaincy team visits all areas of the Trust.
Requests for support from patients and carers must be made via a member of staff.
