Spiritual & Mental Health Conference
Dubrovnik Hotel, 3 Oak Lane, Bradford
Bradford District Care Trust is sponsoring a Spiritual &
Mental Health Conference Conference Context. There is a growing
appreciation of the inter-relationship of Spiritual Well-being
and Mental Health.
There are specific concerns about the failure
of most Western models of psychological therapy to engage with
those from religiously based cultures.
The Conference will offer a unique opportunity
to explore diverse perspectives on Spirituality, Religion, and
Mental Health and is aimed at encouraging debate on how public
health services can be developed to take account of alternative
therapeutic perspectives and to be more responsive to user needs.
The conference should appeal to all Health Professionals,

Chaplains, Social Workers, Service Users, Religious Organisations
and Voluntary Sector Speakers
