Spiritual Peer Support Breaking Stigma and Preserving Dignity Through Acknowledgment

Jun 4, 2024

Deacon Eric Gurash discusses the role of core values in spiritual peer support as they are encountered in Emmaus Support Mental Health Ministry and zeros in on the value of acknowledgment. He examines the root of this value in compassionate listening and how it can be more deeply informed by the model of Christ in the Gospels and the Ignatian Spiritual practice of spiritual conversation.

 

Show Snippet: "In Spiritual Peer Support, acknowledgment is transformative, fostering empathy and understanding through active listening and non-judgmental attitudes. Participants validate each other’s experiences, reducing stigma and creating trust and connection."
