ELDER CARE

Today, this not-for-profit organization continues to serve and take dynamic steps to alleviate the shortage of long term care and provide a model for excellence in delivery of long term compassionate care.

CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is professional education for ministry. It brings theological students, ordained clergy, members of religious orders and qualified lay persons into supervised encounters with "living human documents." This encourages each student to develop: their pastoral identity, interpersonal competence and spirituality; the skills of pastoral assessment, interprofessional collaboration, group leadership, pastoral care and counseling; and pastoral theological reflection.
CPE programs function at three levels: Basic, Advanced, and Supervisor-In-Training. Within this graded, competency-based curriculum, students provide ministry under supervision. Supervision is the heart of the learning process, functioning through multiple structures of responsibility and reflection.
