Spiritual Care in Addiction Treatment
Thursday, October 24th – 8:00AM-12:30PM
May Memorial Universalist Society, Syracuse
This will be an in-person event with limited remote viewing access
Addiction doesn’t discriminate. It affects people of all economic strata, ages, sexual orientations, races, ethnic identities and religions. How do we as professional chaplains in hospitals and correctional facilities – together with communities of faith – respond to the needs of those facing addiction and overdose deaths, and the needs of their families and friends? This program will address such issues in congregational and instutional settings, and will help both chaplains and community-based spiritual caregivers to minister to patients, family and friends.
Featured Speaker
Dr. Tolani Ajagbe, FASAM, serves as the Chief of Psychiatry and Medical Director, Addiction Treatment Services at Crouse Health, in Syracuse, NY. He is also an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University, where he serves as the Division Chief of Addiction Psychiatry and Program Director, Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship.

Spiritual Care Week is a time of both celebration and education. Organizations and institutions throughout the world will recognize spiritual care providers as well as the spiritual care given through professional chaplaincy and pastoral counseling within our communities.
The 2024 theme is: “Chaplains Beyond Religious Roles.” Chaplains are viewed through a lens whereby they collaborate in many different roles with many different professionals to provide holistic interdisciplinary care, which otherwise would not be complete if the chaplain were not included.
