What about people who aren't religious?

Non-Religious Pastoral Care

Chaplains are trained to support people from all walks of life, including those who do not identify with any religion. They provide a safe, confidential space for patients to explore their feelings and receive emotional support.
 

Advocacy and Mediation

Chaplains can act as advocates, helping non-religious patients navigate the healthcare system, ensuring their preferences and values are respected.

Existential Support

Even non-religious people face existential questions, particularly in times of illness or crisis. Chaplains can help explore these questions and provide comfort with a listening ear.
