Hosted by St Andrew’s Healthcare, this national conference brings together practitioners who wish to share and build on experience of spiritual care delivery in the mental health and other secure settings.

 

In view of the interest in evidence-based literature, spirituality can no longer be dismissed as the ‘forgotten dimension’ in mental health care and other secure settings. This conference will provide delegates with the ‘vocabulary of spirituality’ and draw attention to the potential therapeutic benefit of spiritual care to service users. There will be opportunity to share best practice in spiritual care, and the relationship between spirituality and pathology will be considered.

This leading event seeks to help practitioners integrate evidence-based theory into practice in mental health and other secure settings, with particular reference to the potential therapeutic benefit of addressing spiritual needs.

Key national speakers include:

• Professor Peter Gilbert
• Dr Susan Mitchell
• Dr Larry Culliford
• Professor Chris Cook

All the speaker have contributed to the recently published book Spirituality and Psychiatry (RCPsych Publications 2009). They will address current research trends and recent developments in evidence based practice in broad spectrum spiritual, including religious, care. Spirituality in the recovery process will also be examined.

Delegate fee: £100.00
