Volunteer Ministers and the Help They Provide

Nursing staff from a major Calcutta hospital proudly display the certificates they received after completing a six-week training program in assist technology delivered by Scientology Volunteer Ministers. Hospital officials are eager to implement assists which add a needed spiritual component in healing.

At the graduation, the hospital presented the Scientology Volunteer Ministers with a plaque, which states: "In appreciation of his gift to humanity we acknowledge L. Ron Hubbard for the Scientology Assist technology, now in widespread use by our staff throughout our hospitals, which is alleviating suffering. We thank you. We consider you as a true friend."

¹Assists are techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard. They operate on the principle that one tends to withdraw mentally or spiritually from an injured area. Only by restoring communication with this area can one bring the spiritual element into healing. Assists are used to alleviate stress and physical aches and pains, or to orient a confused or distraught individual to his present environment.
