The Spirited Project
The Spirited Project is a Whitley research project that serves to demonstrate the value of spiritual care as an aspect of holistic palliative and dementia care. Led by Whitley’s Interim Principal Associate Professor Darrell Jackson, the project team has led important conversations and continues to tackle critical questions surrounding the care and treatment of dementia sufferers.
The project team has an article published in Religions as part of the Special Issue ‘Spirituality and Aging: Finding Meaning in the Context of Personal and Societal Change’. The article is titled ‘Equipping Families and Friends to Offer Spiritual Care to People Living with Dementia: Findings from a Meta-Synthesis’.
