The Little Book of Spiritual Health introduces the concepts of contemporary spirituality and spiritual health to our colleagues in the broader healthcare sector. It is an acknowledgement of the huge burden they have carried being the front-line workforce throughout the Covid-19 health crisis. Every aspect of professional working life has been impacted and this has extracted an enormous toll on our precious human resources and esteemed colleagues.
It is a timely offering as the collective experience of the pandemic has asked us all to go deeper with our reflections of what it means to be human and how we integrate our spiritual and existential realities into our daily responsibilities and lives.
The Little Book of Spiritual Health is offered as a resource to inspire genuine care of the soul in honour of the dedication, commitment, and continued courage our healthcare professionals bring to their roles in service to the community.
Cost: $18 including postage

The Small Gift is a forerunner to The Little Book of Spiritual Health which will support your enquiry into how you might achieve a holistic balance in your life, as well as recognise how important it is to include a spiritual health assessment in the care plans of the people we support.
The Small Gift invites you to pause and reconnect to Self. The questions ask you focus on what it feels like to experience spiritual health, as well as reflect upon what it might feel like to experience spiritual dis-ease or dis-stress. It is from this place we can bring greater understanding and awareness to the totality of our lives.
Cost: $5 each plus postage. Orders over 10 - $4 each plus postage.

SHA has produced two new evidence-based infographic posters for spiritual care teams to use during 2023 international Spiritual Care Week (SCW) and beyond.
Poster 1 – Spirituality and Mental Health bridges the concepts of spiritual health and mental health, highlighting the common grounds they share, and differentiating between spiritual struggle and mental illness. Both presentations share a range of symptoms that can sometimes be mistaken for the other. This poster aims to draw attention to shared qualities and symptoms and deepen our understanding of these complex interrelations.
Poster 2 – Spiritual and Mental Health Care locates the place of spirituality in the Biopsychosocial-Spiritual model of holistic care and suggests ways all healthcare staff can play a role in supporting a person’s spiritual health needs, promoting a comprehensive approach to care. In developing a spiritual literacy, we are all better positioned to respond to the holistic needs of those in our health care services.
Using both international and our own research, these resources demonstrate the role and benefits of spiritual care for target audiences including mental health practitioners, health care workers, people with lived experience of mental ill health, and families.
The posters are printed on 128gsm semi-gloss stock.

Many mental health practitioners are not accustomed to exploring the spiritual domain with their patients owing to this often being overlooked in undergraduate training. This resource is designed to familiarise all with a model of true person-centred care that takes the whole person into account.

Flyer 1 - This flyer explores the concepts of spiritual health and mental health by offering definitions and looking at what these positive states of wellbeing share. The reverse side delineates between spiritual struggle and mental illness and draws connection to the shared symptoms. The interplay between spiritual struggle and mental illness is complex; many of the presenting symptoms may be similar, and care must be taken to assess accurately what an individual is experiencing.
Flyer 2 - This flyer suggests ways all healthcare practitioners can begin to grow in confidence when connecting with people around their spiritual needs and resources. The sample questions are sourced from a resource known as MISTIC that was devised from a qualitative systematic review undertaken in 2020 which provided evidence of the significant role spirituality played in the lives of many people who experience mental health difficulties. The flip side of the flyer develops our understanding of what spiritual needs are and how when expressed have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing.

As a human family we all are deeply connected. We experience this feeling of connection in times of both profound joy and at times of deep sorrow and questioning. In our work we encounter situations and people who challenge our core beliefs, expectations for recovery, notions of security and hope that things can get better.
