CPE Discernment Seminar
The CPE Discernment Seminar is to help demystify the format, process, and content of Clinical Pastoral Education, which is the professional training for spiritual caregivers. This seminar will focus on training units accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE). Held over six weeks in 90-minute sessions, the seminar is open to anyone interested in CPE to help them understand what it is, clarify their "why," learn more about what is entailed in becoming a professional chaplain, and prepare to complete the application. Registration and attendance with participation at all six sessions is required. Weekly reflective exercises help to clarify the discernment process. Sessions will not be recorded.
Next Session Begins
