Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care in Mental Health Settings

This edited collection provides a diverse insight into mental health chaplaincy work. It covers trends and themes of the general mental health scene, good practice in chaplaincy and spiritual care, and it concludes with several uplifting case studies, including several from service users.

This edited collection about good practice for mental health chaplains and other related professionals looks at how spirituality is viewed across mental health fields. It identifies what mental health chaplaincy is, how mental health chaplaincy interacts with other organisations like the NHS, and what good practice means with examples of positive and fulfilling experiences in mental health settings.

The chapters consider some of the main issues of working with the mental health community, such as the place of volunteers, the recovery process, religious diversity and patient safety. They are followed by uplifting case studies, including service user perspectives, to provide a valuable overall insight into mental health chaplaincy and its context in wider mental health services.
