Mental Health Clinical Pastoral Education – A Specialized CPE Program

Tuesday, October 21, 1-2 PM (CT)

Transforming Chaplaincy and ACPE are jointly sponsoring this Spiritual Care Week event.

One hundred years after Boisen offered the first CPE unit in a psychiatric hospital Angelika Zollfrank will describe one of the few remaining CPE programs in a mental health context. The program addresses the need for mental health competencies in religious leaders and chaplains. The presentation will include graduates’ feedback about the impact of this CPE program on their leadership in chaplaincy and in religious communities. Angelika’s CPE program was described in a paper recently published in Religions. (Zollfrank, A. A., Kaufman, C. C., & Rosmarin, D. H. (2025). Mental Health Clinical Pastoral Education—A Specialized CPE Program. Religions, 16(7), 886. https://doi.org/10.3390/rel16070886. OPEN ACCESS.

Following Rev. Angelika Zollfrank's presentation, she'll be joined by respondent, Dr. Brandon Unruh.
