Your question was, have we? We are so early getting going. The answer is, we have not, but we will. The answer is yes.
Let me tell you where my bias is on this issue. I had a sister who suffered for many years from severe depression, including a suicide attempt. She subsequently died of cancer. She would say to me that she felt she got more help from her spiritual adviser than she did from her psychiatrist. While that is anecdotal, it gives a little bit of bias on the question.
The reality is that the aboriginal Canadians have understood for centuries that you have to treat the whole person, and the whole person is not just the head and not just the physical body. It is the combination, and it has a spiritual element to it. I use spiritual rather than faith-based, which connotes a somewhat purely religious point of view. Spiritual need not be religious in the normal sense of the word.
Yesterday at a meeting Jayne Barker and I were at with CIHR, we discussed the question of how we get some evidence to establish empirically what appears to be anecdotally very true, which is that the spiritual element of treatment is a very important element.
