HOSPICE CHAPLAINCY:
ARE WE AS GOOD AS WE THINK WE ARE?
An Unfiltered Conversation About Competency, Credibility, Accountability &
the Future of Spiritual Care
September 22 • 12:00 Noon Eastern • Live Webinar
What happens when a veteran hospice chaplain and CPE educator agrees to be
interviewed by an AI—and specifically instructs it not to ask easy questions?
No scripted answers.
No comfortable professional talking points.
No questions designed simply to make the presenter look good.
Dr. Richard Behers, BCC, CFHPC, CPE Training Supervisor/Educator, sits down with
Together they will tackle questions many in our profession—and many hospice
leaders—may already be asking:
Is compassion enough?
Why are some chaplains still struggling for credibility on the IDT?
What should hospice leadership reasonably expect from professional spiritual
care?
Are chaplains prepared to demonstrate their value rather than simply describe it?
Have we sometimes confused “being present” with competent clinical practice?
What responsibility do chaplains themselves bear when their profession isn’t
taken seriously?
And perhaps the most important question:
What must hospice chaplaincy become next?
This conversation is for chaplains, spiritual care leaders, CPE educators, hospice
executives, administrators, clinical managers, and interdisciplinary professionals
who are willing to examine both the promise and the problems of professional spiritual
care.
Come prepared to think—not simply agree.
