Thanks for the Feedback !

I think conversations about religon etc tend to be a bit more commen in my type of workplace than in others. I work at a day care program for those who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease and other types of Dementia so that people can remain in their homes with family and not be put into a nurseing home.

We do alot of discussion and celebration around the holiday season for the participants so we as staff tend to talk about it more than in other workplaces due to this.

All the Best.

I work in the mental health field too ( community mental health nurse practitioner ) and have some clients who have behavioural problems related to dementia ( I have done research in this area also ).
I also have found that the nature of this kind of work leads and lends itself to getting into conversations about beliefs and religion, as families and people who develop the condition ask " why??? " a lot more than other areas of mental health and nursing, even hospice, that I have worked in.
