Hopeful Compassion

A counseling and spiritual care program for people living with HIV and AIDS.

Care givers are trained to provide spiritual care for those living with a terminal disease. Part of this approach is also to mobilise, train and support local churches to partner with existing community based programs (e.g. a Hospice).

Hopeful Compassion is a three day experiential training program. During the training issues regarding loss, dying, death and bereavement are explored. The emotional and spiritual needs of the person living with a terminal illness are presented in a way which fosters empathy. A practical and creative emotional care and counselling approach is followed.
