For Spiritual Health Awareness Week 2024, CHAM/IHCAM is hosting an insightful webinar series that explores the critical role of spiritual care in various settings. This year’s theme, "Breaking the Myths," focuses on clarifying the often misunderstood aspects of spiritual care and psychospiritual therapy. Throughout the week, Spiritual Health practitioners share the importance of spiritual care in healthcare, long-term care, mental health, and beyond.

As we wrap up October, we celebrate a month filled with moments of healing, inclusivity, and compassion in Catholic Health Care.
