New York City-based NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull is piloting a trauma-informed maternal health chaplaincy volunteer program.
The two-year program allows volunteer chaplains to gain hands-on experience in providing trauma-informed spiritual care in the hospital setting while serving pregnant and postpartum patients. Volunteer chaplains will support patients who experience spiritual distress, including pregnancy loss, intimate partner violence, previous traumatic birth experiences, and challenges such as food insecurity, housing instability and mental health concerns, according to a July 15 system news release.
The program is expected to expand to additional NYC Health + Hospitals facilities after the pilot is completed.
The system currently has 48 chaplains across the system and has trained 64 chaplains since its Hospital Chaplaincy Volunteer program launched in 2022.
