STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Taking CPE with Dr. Behers has really enhanced my pastoral care skills.  The insights Dr. Behers gives in his class have given me the confidence to work with others during challenging times.  It is amazing to see how the Dementia Care Protocol calms patients and brings a little bit of peace to their lives.​
