This Spiritual Care Week, we recognise the importance of compassion, connection and support during some of life's most challenging moments.
At Flinders Private Hospital, Chaplain Rachael Litchfield provides spiritual and emotional support to patients, families and staff, helping ensure their individual needs are heard and respected.
This year's theme draws inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, embracing the idea that our experiences, including those of hardship and loss, can become part of our story rather than something to conceal.
Across ACHA, spiritual care forms an important part of our commitment to caring for the whole person, offering a listening ear, comfort and connection to patients, families and staff, regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs.
