The spiritual animator is an integral member of the school' s Student Services team. They work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team, coordinating efforts with the professionals and administration to better meet the needs of the student population.... In one to one interventions, the animator attempts to address the spiritual, emotional and religious needs of the student as these aspects of life contribute to and are part of the student's reality.... The role of the animator is not to mentor students according to his or her own sense of what is right. The role of the animator is to listen, to seek out students who are suffering and non-judgmentally accompany them through their difficulty. This includes, but is not limited to the areas of bereavement support, family crisis, self-esteem, stress management. 2, record 1, English, - spiritual%20guidance%20animator
