Spiritual health therapy supports patients and their loved ones through times of spiritual distress. Trauma, illness, grief or a major change can all be sources of spiritual distress.

What is spiritual health?

Spiritual health is a part of overall health. It is the way we find meaning in the world and ourselves. When we are spiritually healthy, we feel courage, strength, hope, and compassion for others. On the other hand, spiritual distress can create feelings of isolation, fear, helplessness and despair.

When should I seek spiritual health therapy?

Spiritual therapy can help if you or your loved ones are struggling with:

  • an upcoming surgery
  • a prognosis or diagnosis
  • death, dying or loss
  • questions of meaning or purpose, like “Why is this happening?” or “What do I do now?”
  • unresolved guilt or unsettled emotions about the past
  • feelings of isolation, depression, disconnection or a lack of purpose

We can also help you find a community faith group or a specific religious service or ritual.

What if I'm not religious?

You do not have to belong to a religious group to benefit from this support. If you do belong to a religious faith, we will support you regardless of which faith you belong to. No Osler staff member will ever try to convert you or change your beliefs.

How can spiritual health therapy help?

Our spiritual health professionals are trained to provide spiritual and emotional support in times of need. We respect you and your beliefs. Outpatient support is available – you do not need to be an Osler patient to access spiritual care. Our services are confidential.

How do I reach Spiritual Health Therapy?

Spiritual Health Therapy is available Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Call us at 905-494-2120 ext. 50103. If you leave a message, we will return your call during the above hours.
