5 Dimensional Care

 Biological - Psychological - Social - Spiritual -Moral


The Elijah Institute trains the people who care for others — Psychologists, Therapists, Counselors, Social Workers, Chaplains — to honor the whole person in their work. That means the body, the mind, relationships, the spiritual life, and the moral life. Grounded in the Catholic understanding that every person is made in the image of God, our courses give care providers the framework and the confidence to do this work well, wherever they serve.
