Spirituality in Mental Health
Recovery-oriented services take into consideration an individual’s spiritual and religious needs.
Although spirituality in treatment is often considered a holistic approach (vs. traditional clinical
approaches), concepts related to spirituality in mental health recovery are not “new”. Integrating
issues relevant to spirituality in mental health treatment can help treatment providers facilitate
recovery and person-centered treatment. Spirituality can provide guidance, social supports, opportunities
for celebration, and can offer meaning in lives. A more holistic approach to treatment now accepts faith
and prayer as effective health treatments. Recovery-oriented treatment focuses on self-determination, choice, and “self-defined needs”.
Birch facilitates a respectful and individualized approach to each individual’s spiritual needs.
The Birch Chaplain, Henry Morgan, provides individual and group services focused on spirituality
and how spirituality issues impact functioning and recovery. Services focus on each individual’s
understanding of and interest in spirituality, and whether or not spirituality is important to him/her
in individual recovery. For those individuals who wish to have spiritual concerns or goals included
in their treatment, services target utilizing strengths related to spirituality to enhance empowerment,
coping, hope, community integration, and core issues of meaning, purpose, connectedness to others, and personal enrichment.
