Special 2017 Webinars Overview and Registration

General Information:

The NACC hosted several special webinars in 2017, outside of the scope of its regular series. Access to the recordings may still be purchased – please see below for details.

Spiritual Care in Common Terms (Parts 1-4)
Presented by Gordon Hilsman, DMin, BCC-S
NACC member Gordon Hilsman, DMin, BCC-S, has recently published Spiritual Care in Common Terms: How Chaplains Can Effectively Describe the Spiritual Needs of Patients in Medical Records; the book is available at this LINK.

It has received excellent reviews from many clinicians, including Dr. Christina Puchalski who wrote:
Spirituality of patients is an essential domain of whole-person care. Patients often suffer in silence; that suffering or spiritual distress must be recognized and treated. Professional chaplains are essential members of the healthcare team. It is critical that they communicate verbally and in the chart note the spiritual needs of the patient, how they are addressing that need and what outcomes the team should look for to help the patient heal. Spiritual Care in Common Terms offers the language and format for chaplains to communicate this clinical aspect of spiritual care that can be understood in the reductionist clinical framework but keeps the patient’s inner narrative in the forefront of their care for all members to provide compassionate care for our patients. This is a must-read for not only chaplains but for other members of the interdisciplinary team.

At the request of the NACC, Gordon lead a book review series of four one-hour webinar sessions which gave participants the opportunity to read and process the book with Gordon. The participants could purchase the book in advance. The four sessions covered the content of the six chapters. This series aimed to provide the beginning, learning, and seasoned chaplain an opportunity to refine her/his theory and practice of documentation. Access to the recordings of these four sessions is available at a cost of $30, which includes all four sessions (but does not include the book – you are responsible for obtaining a copy yourself).

This series provides 10 CEH’s. The CEH Certificate may be downloaded here:

To register online to access recordings of these sessions, please use the following link: REGISTER. If you prefer to pay by check, please send your $30 check made out to NACC to: National Association of Catholic Chaplains, 4915 S. Howell Avenue, Suite 501, Milwaukee, WI 53207.

 

Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada: Catholic Health Care Perspectives
Presented by Dr. Christopher De Bono, PhD, MDivWhat does Medical Assistance in Dying (AKA Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide) look like in Canada? And what does it mean for the Catholic Health Care community in Canada? And beyond? This workshop provides the critical historical context on MAiD, but focuses primarily on the tensions as well as opportunities that MAiD represents in both acute and residential care settings. Clinical, ethical and pastoral theological lenses are brought to bear on the phenomenon.

This webinar provides 2 CEH’s. The CEH Certificate may be downloaded here:

2021 Webinar Series

The NACC 2021 monthly Professional Development Webinars have been planned around specific focus areas. Final topics and presenters are in process and will be announced as they are confirmed.

Quarter 2: Behavioral/Mental Health focus

The global pandemic has strained our ministries and those who serve in them in unprecedented ways. In addition, our members have asked for additional training focusing on behavioral health. These webinars will provide chaplains additional tools to effectively minister to staff and to all who suffer from mental illness. Dates for quarter two webinars are:

  • April 15 ~ Finding Wholeness in a Period of Fragmentation, presented by Thomas Rea BCC; Cory Mitchell, D Bioethics MA;  Anne Dohrenwend PhD
  • May 20 ~ Embodied Self Care as Spiritual Practice and Prayer, presented by Sarah Cledwyn MA
  • June 17 ~ Cultivating Racially Equitable Mental Health Support and Implications for Spiritual Care, presented by Amittia Parker PhDc, LMSW, MPA
