Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE)

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is a specialized training program for individuals seeking to develop skills in providing spiritual and emotional support to people facing illness, loss, or crisis. Through supervised practical experiences in healthcare or community settings, participants reflect on their interactions, deepen their understanding of diverse spiritual needs, and enhance their ability to offer compassionate care. CPE aims to prepare trained chaplains or spiritual counselors to effectively serve individuals of all faiths or beliefs, fostering both personal growth and professional competency in pastoral caregiving.
