Spirituality and Religion You are welcome to use our multi-faith room located on Level 1. A visit from a member of Pastoral Care can be arranged for you, so please let a member of staff know and contact will be made on your behalf. The Pastoral Care Team at the AYAH is part of our Health Care service and can provide holistic care and support to you and your family and friends during your stay. This care includes your physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. Support for families The social and emotional consequences of supporting a young person who is ill can put all members of the family under a great deal of pressure. The AYAH recognises the stress a family may feel and the potential need to talk to someone during your stay with us. As a part of the support philosophy and environment of the AYAH, a social worker, clinical psychologist and grief counsellor are available to meet with you on a confidential and ongoing basis about any issues you or your family may be experiencing. Please let our friendly team know if you would like to utilise these services.
