How Can We Support You?
We are here to help...
During a hospital stay, life can seem different and out of control. Besides physical pain, feelings such as loneliness, insecurity, fear, confusion, grief and anxiety can affect one's well-being.
Spiritual Care Practitioners and trained Spiritual Care Visitors are available to meet with patients of any or of no faith or religious belief to listen, counsel and provide support, as well as connect patients directly with spiritual care supports outside of THP.
Our Spiritual and Supportive Care Practitioners are accredited members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and are able to support patients and families through difficult and challenging times. Our team works in partnership with a wide range of faith groups across our community, including, but not limited to, Aboriginal, Christian, Baha’I, Buddhist, Hindu, Islam, Jain, Jehovah witness, Jewish, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist, Wicca, and Zoroastrian.
Please call hospital locating at 905-813-2200 or 905-848-7580 to be connected to a Spiritual Care Practitioner 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. seven days a week.
