Mental health care that is open to patients’ existential needs requires well-trained professionals who work in teams and use an open conceptualization of spirituality, religion and other meaning-making domains. Using a mixed methods approach, this article explores how professionals (n = 262) in secular Norway perceive obstacles and opportunities in existential care. The results show correlations between age group, personal religiosity, terminology and perceived expertise. Commitment is high, but collaboration with chaplains and team training are neglected
