Spiritual Health Awareness Week 2025
October 19-25, 2025
What is Spiritual Health Awareness Week?
Health encompasses the whole person: the mind, the body, the emotions and the human spirit. However, Western society privileges the physical, mental and emotional needs of people, often minimizing the spiritual aspect. Let us collectively raise awareness that effective care must be holistic and include human spirituality. Just as society addresses and values the physical, mental and emotional dimension of people, the spiritual dimension of individuals should also be addressed and valued.
2025 Campaign Theme: Coming Soon...
- An opportunity to celebrate Spiritual Care Practitioners and Psychospiritual Therapists for all they do including their unrelenting and essential commitment to the wellbeing of others
- To encourage dialogue about why spiritual care and psychospiritual therapy matter
