They provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, families, and staff, often participating in patient care meetings, debriefings, and crisis intervention. Open communication and respect for diverse beliefs are essential, as chaplains help address spiritual needs while supporting the overall well-being of those in their care. This collaborative approach ensures holistic support for everyone involved.
