Whole-Person Care
Caring for the Whole Person
A tragic irony of our comtemporary age is the fragmentation of caregiving. Over the past 100 years, we've witnessed tremendous advances in the fields of medicine, psychiatry, psychotherapy and education counseling. As our knowledge has increased with each passing year, so have the number of specializations (and miscrospecializations) in each field of study.
Today, our system for caregiving is as advanced as any the world has every seen. And yet, you'll probably see as many as three or four specialists before you get an answer to the question: "What's wrong with me?"
When it comes to caring well for "the least of these", we at Cornerstone as passionately committed to bringing caregivers together. As Christians, we see each of us as members of one body-Christ's body-working together for the good of others.
If, as caregivers, we hope to make a difference, we must grasp an important reality. We're all working toward the same end. We may be operating within different fields and specializations. But we're aiming for one goal: to mend, strengthen, and build lives. We are far better equipped to accomplish this goal together than we are apart.
