Integris Pastoral Care is conducting a seminar on The Toll of Caregiving on the Health of Clergy and Members of the Helping Professions. The live presentation for clergy and clinical staff will be held Wednesday Aug. 17th from 1:00-2:30 pm at Integris Baptist Medical Center Conf. Rooms J and K. No registration is required for this free program.
Members of the clergy and others in helping professions most often feel a sense of call to their chosen professions. They find their work both gratifying and fulfilling. However, challenges they face in their work can often negatively impact their health – physical, emotional, spiritual, familial, social and financial.
Program participants will gain insight into the current state of clergy health in the United States. They will learn about factors impacting the health of clergy and those in helping professions, as well as ways to prevent the negative impact of serving in a helping profession.
Board certified Chaplain Oran Lee, M.Div., who serves as director of Pastoral Care at Integris Baptist Medical Center will present. Approved CE credits are available for social workers, nurses and therapists.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
