Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Needless to say that our lives have been turned upside down as a result of COVID-19. As a dear friend and fellow chaplain commented to me in an email that he never expected this type of crisis when he began CPE and Chaplaincy work over 35 years ago.
Not only has the experience altered our lives in many ways, but it has also had a direct impact on our CPE students and CPE Supervisors in being able to conduct CPE. In some cases, the students have been able to continue, and in others, they have had to prolong their clinical work. Please feel to contact Dr. C.J. Malone (accreditation@cpei.us) if you have questions regarding your specific CPE Center and how to manage.
Resources
