Our spiritual health profoundly impacts our physical health, well-being, and quality of life. Just as medical professionals care for ourbodies and minds, spiritual care practitioners care for our spirits.The increasing need for spiritual care makes these practitioners even more crucial. However, many of us have limited access to quality,professional spiritual care. At times of struggle, this lack of spiritual care can have a negative impact on our health and well-being.Investigators and researchers are creating a growing body of evidence for the innumerable benefits of professional spiritual care, yetmany people still do not have a lot of accurate information about these practitioners.To create this publication, the six largest healthcare chaplaincy organizations in North America collaborated to share the facts aboutspiritual care and practitioners’ roles, training, and standards.By providing evidence and dispelling myths, the thousands of spiritual care practitioners represented by these organizations hope toincrease access to spiritual care for the benefit of all.Notes on TerminologyBecause the term chaplain is well known, this publication sometimes uses chaplain and spiritual care practitioner interchangeably toincrease understanding. However, the terms are not truly synonymous, and the term spiritual care practitioner is preferred in Canada.Chaplains are spiritual care practitioners, but not all spiritual care practitioners are chaplains.Similarly, the term spirituality is inclusive of religion, but religion is only one of many expressions of spirituality. Many spiritual carepractitioners are employed by secular organizations, such as hospitals, schools, the military, police and fire departments, and correctionalinstitutions.Spiritual care also may be known as pastoral care. A type of spiritual care practitioner, pastoral counselors are clinical mental healthprofessionals.The AuthorsACPE: The Standard for Spiritual Care & Education www.acpe.eduAssociation of Professional Chaplains www.professionalchaplains.orgCanadian Association for Spiritual Care/Association canadienne de soins spirituels www.spiritualcare.caNational Association of Catholic Chaplains www.nacc.orgNeshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains www.jewishchaplain.net3

1 Demystifying Spiritual CareSpiritual care practitioners are uniquelyqualified to fill a growing a need.Holistic health care entails caring for the whole person, comprising threeinterrelated parts: body, mind, and spirit.Spirituality and religion were once so intertwined that trying to separatethe two seemed pointless.1 This is no longer the case.We experience spirit, just as we experience our minds and bodies, and thisis called spirituality.Today, the number of people with no religious affiliation is increasing. In2017, more than a quarter of U.S. adults (27%) identified themselves as“spiritual” but not “religious,” up from 19% in 2012.4Although there are several dozen definitions of spirituality,1 healthcarepractitioners are forming a consensus regarding spirituality’s centralaspects: meaning, purpose, and connectedness. The following definitioncaptures this well.In short, all religions are expressions of spirituality, but not all expressionsof spiritual
