What I’ve Seen. What I’ve Felt. Stories/Reflections of Inpatient Palliative Care Chaplains Amid the Pandemic
Co-sponsored with Transforming Chaplaincy
As a chaplain – have you ever felt invisible?
As a chaplain – have you ever felt you work alone?
As a chaplain – have you ever felt under-appreciated?
We’ve likely all felt invisible, lonely and under-appreciated at times. But the amount of positive attention healthcare chaplains have recently received from the media during this pandemic has been extraordinarily affirming. Let’s build on that!
HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
In this Webinar, we give thanks that countless publications, websites, and media outlets have helped tell stories of chaplains at their best. This webinar is by us, for us.
