Because spirituality is at the center of existence for many people and its reach is so broad, it is ideally suited to be integrated into responsible and respectful approaches to therapeutic intervention with clients. This training will provide practitioners/supporters/workers with a way of navigating the faith and spirituality of those they serve within an overall context of integrated health. Particular attention will be given to the practices of spiritual assessment, spiritual support/skill building, and connecting people to external resources.
Learning Objectives: 1) Increase awareness of the role of spirituality/faith for those receiving support; 2)Identify the challenges and opportunities of providing spiritual support; 3) Learn the formats and tools available to those offering spiritual support/skill-building; 4) Gain knowledge and strategies for connecting people to other spiritual resources.
