Spiritual Support

Spiritual Support - Support through spiritual practices, including faith, religion, a sense of purpose, and/or beliefs about the meaning of life. Spiritual support may be provided during cancer treatment to help improve a patient's psychological outlook, emotional health, and quality of life. For instance, spiritual wellness may help to reduce anxiety, stress and depression, stimulate self-awareness, improve a sense of connectedness to others, and promote inner peace.
