CLUB CHAPLAINCY

There is an ever-increasing awareness of the stresses and strains of the music industry, particularly within the nightlife context. High profile tragedies and public confessions have  prompted worldwide industry concern for mental health issues. The challenges generated by a relentless nocturnal lifestyle, fuelled by the need for continuous public affirmation often leads to a troubling association with addictive coping mechanisms. We are exploring how to provide a form of chaplaincy suitable for those in the nightclub scene who need care, support, a listening ear and prayer in Scotland. We have been attending appropriate training days, meeting with mental health charities and building relationships with those on the frontline. We are believing that through us as an organisation and through the wider influence of DJ Unity, we will be able to provide spiritual insight and compassion for those who need support in the often-difficult world of the night-time economy.
