Therapy services at the Bethesda Hospital Palliative Care Centre

Psychosocial support plays a central role at the Bethesda Hospital Palliative Care Centre, as a serious illness not only affects the body, but also the soul and the social environment. Patients are supported by psychologists who help them to deal with emotional stress, alleviate anxiety and find new inner strength. Counsellors are available to answer spiritual questions, regardless of faith or ideology, and offer support in difficult moments. Social services provide support with organisational and legal challenges to make everyday life easier and create a sense of security.

Relatives also receive special support. They are included in the counselling, given space for discussions and practical help to cope better with the challenging situation. Particularly in the final phase of life and in the time afterwards, the team provides sensitive support to loved ones and offers comfort and guidance during this difficult time. The aim is to create a sense of security and stability in order to provide comprehensive support for people in a stressful situation.
