Emotional and spiritual care reconnects mind, body, and spirit during difficult times in life. This is achieved through compassionate, relational conversation(s) with an emotional and spiritual care provider.

Common trigger events that prompt the need for emotional and spiritual care are:

• Death of a loved one
• Trauma caused by environmental issues (flood, fire, earthquake, etc)
• Trauma caused by violence
• Broken relationships
• Illness (either experienced or witnessed)
• Family crises

When a crisis hits the community, The Salvation Army responds quickly with our Community Response Vehicles. These kitchen-on-wheels are dispatched to the designated locations or reception centres with teams of trained EDS volunteers. They immediately set up food and support service alongside other agencies. We feed the emergency responders and evacuees, making sure they have drinks, snacks and meals, when needed. Spiritual and emotional care, including prayer, is also available.

Brave is a catalytic movement whose focus is to empower girls that come from vulnerable situations, with hopes to engage them before they potentially become victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking. The summertime event is set up to provide hundreds of vulnerable girls with positive and uplifting messages of hope, love, value and purpose from speakers, artists, dancers and community leaders.
