'Live the life you please' social impact campaign
Spiritual care is about tending to the things that give people meaning, purpose and connection and ensuring these needs are met, right to the very end of life.
SHA are working alongside Moonshine Agency to promote the importance of spiritual care as an integral part of the holistic palliative care process.

Video - Spiritual care at the end of life
This video is part of the 'Live the life you please' campaign and shares the story of Alex Robins and Leila McCann, who have been companioned by spiritual care practitioner Russell Armstrong as part of Alex’s palliative care.
It offers an insight into the qualities of the spiritual care relationship and shows how holding another’s story during this time of life is a unique and integral part of whole-of-person care.
Special thanks to Alex and Leila for sharing their story.
In memory of Alex Robins.
