Label TextRev. Charles Scott worked as a member of Chaplin Services from 1964 to 1989, during which time he acted as counsellor to patients. Rev. Scott also created a training program for clergy working in mental health care facilities, which educated clergy members on how to successfully work in mental health. He believes that acceptance is therapeutic and that that rehabilitation starts with an acknowledgement of a need for help. Working at the LPH was not about forcing religion on people it was about listening to patients, and being there when they were in crisis.
