Unmet Need: Effective, up-to-date, and multi-faith spiritual coping resource for patients
Most hospitals support their patients either through chaplains or the direct distribution of coping resources. However, many of these coping resources are outdated and ineffective at encouraging spiritual health in a multi-faith and diverse setting. As such, there is a need for coping resources that are relatable to a broad audience, are aesthetically pleasing, and both teach and facilitate spiritual healing and health.
