There is a developing interest in spirituality within health and social work education. Practice teachers may feel uncertain about how to tackle this theme in their supervision. Using key themes of loss and celebrating diversity, this article suggests ways in which practice teachers can explore this topic with their students. The PCS analysis – which explores the Personal, Cultural and Structural/Societal dimensions to discrimination and oppression – is introduced, and an enrichment of it is proposed adding a strengths perspective to the analysis that also includes Spirituality (PCSS).
