    What is the Spiritual Care Specialist Training Program?

    People practicing in care ministries, whether professional or volunteer positions, sometimes find themselves at a loss as to how to respond to the kinds of problems around which their care-receivers are seeking help. Addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, and domestic violence are only a few issues that may require a mental health perspective. 

    The Spiritual Care Specialist Training teaches people engaged in ministries of care to integrate knowledge
    and skills from the behavioral health field into their work in order to perform their caregiving more
    effectively, ethically, and safely.

    Have you ever wanted to learn more about these kinds of issues and build your repertoire of helping skills, so that you can provide a more competent and confident ministry of care? ACPE’s Spiritual Care Specialist training program supports people working in all manner of caring ministries to do their work more effectively, ethically, and safely. 

    Who is Aaron Pawelek?

    Aaron Pawelek, LICSW, is a member of ACPE’s psychotherapy commission.  He is also a psychotherapist in practice at the New England Pastoral Institute (NEPI) in Salem, New Hampshire.

    Feel free to reach out to Aaron with questions by calling or emailing him directly at 603-890-6767X107 or pawelek@nepastoral.org

    Karla Hardin, LPC-S

    Description:

    This training introduces Whole Person Integration (WPI) as an integrative framework for case conceptualization in counseling. Grounded in contemporary research across neurobiological, psychological, relational, and spiritual domains, the model provides clinicians with a multidimensional lens for understanding client functioning and distress. Participants will explore how physiological regulation, cognitive-emotional processes, attachment dynamics, and meaning-making systems interact to shape mental health outcomes. Emphasis is placed on translating this framework into practical clinical application, equipping counselors with a coherent structure for assessment, intervention planning, and ethically grounded integration of spirituality within treatment

    Learning Objectives:

    As a result of this webinar, participants will be able to

    1. Participants will be able to identify and describe the four primary domains of Whole Person Integration (physiological, psychological, relational, and spiritual) and their relevance to mental health.

    2. Participants will be able to explain the interaction between neurobiological regulation, emotional processing, and relational dynamics in the development and maintenance of psychological symptoms.

    3. Participants will be able to apply the Whole Person Integration framework to case conceptualization by mapping client concerns across multiple domains of functioning.

    4. Participants will be able to differentiate between reductionistic and integrative approaches to treatment planning and articulate the clinical implications of each.

    5. Participants will be able to demonstrate ethically appropriate strategies for incorporating clients’ spiritual and meaning-making frameworks into counseling practice.
