Spiritual Care week is an annual event that celebrates the role of chaplains and spiritual caregivers. This year, the theme is "Chaplaincy and Mental Health, It's Healthy to get


Help". The theme highlights the importance of seeking professional help for mental health issues, and the support that chaplains can provide to Veterans and their families. Chaplains


are trained to offer compassionate and confidential counseling, as well as spiritual guidance and resources. They can help veterans cope with stress, trauma, grief, moral injury, and other


challenges. Spiritual Care week is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the valuable service that chaplains and spiritual caregivers offer to the VA community.
