Hillcrest Educational Centers recognizes that our students and their parents/guardians and /or families have a wide range of spiritual and /or religious beliefs, values and practices. HEC understands that spiritual and /or religious beliefs, values and practices may be an important source of comfort, support, strength, hope and guidance for our students and their families. HEC also recognizes the importance of trying to understand, respect and support our students’ and their family’s spiritual and /or religious beliefs, values and practices.

In order to support our students’ and their family’s spiritual/religious beliefs and growth, we conduct a spirituality assessment when a student joins one of our programs. Both the student their parent(s)/guardian have sections on the assessment.

If a student, or parent/guardian, has any specific questions or concerns about spiritual/religious practice in our programs, please contact the student’s clinician.
