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
