Holistic support, even without many words
Bethel's chaplains offer many people with disabilities, mental illnesses and social disadvantages the opportunity to meet face to face. They invite people to devotions, give them space to talk individually and in groups about issues of life and faith, visit them on birthdays and stand alongside them in times of difficulty.
It is always about accompanying people, sometimes part of the way, and others all of the way. Not all residents can speak, but Bethel's chaplains find a way to reach them even without words. They are trained to perceive even the slightest of signals and recognise what moves people.
Since empathetic sympathy is just as much a part of good holistic support as professional care and support, Bethel offers pastoral care in residential facilities and workshops. Our employees can be found wherever people live, work and argue with each other, where they conquer their path or even fail.
