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.

Explores the role of chaplaincy and the future of spiritual care delivery within contemporary healthcare systems. The focus throughout the book is on questioning current norms: shifting away from the current view of chaplaincy as a crisis intervention strategy, and toward a holistic, person-centred enhancement of quality of life and wellbeing.
