Paul Bay DMin BCC, Cardiovascular Chaplain, Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN

This workshop challenges us to use research findings to define/prioritize those whom we see for chaplaincy care. We move from a passive to an active chaplaincy care provider stance. It pushes us to use research to see patients who get the greatest benefit/outcome from our care. We will look at a randomized controlled study of over 200 heart study patients, comparing effectiveness of chaplaincy care for those identified as spiritually distressed vs. those not defined as spiritually distressed. Focus will also be given on how we can communicate our effectiveness to administrators.

Participant Goals: Charting our own course: Studying the map to analyze research findings (mine and others) to prioritize chaplaincy care Turning the ship: Making a mental/behavioral shift from referral-based service (passive) to spiritual assessment service (active) Moving the ship forward: Learning to do research and provide chaplaincy care at the same time

This workshop aims to help participants prepare for BCCI subspecialty certification in palliative care through a guided discussion of cases. Examining the complex and dynamic character of clinical cases is a historic and effective method for developing competency in the practice of professional chaplaincy. This workshop will provide participants with opportunities to understand and practice palliative care subspecialty competencies through: analyzing cases; developing comprehensive and evolving spiritual care plans; exploring strategies that invite the contributions of other members of the palliative care team; and constructing theories of spiritual care that support and inform the care plan.

Participant Goals: Use case studies to identify and practice APC Palliative Care Board Certified Chaplain Competencies Discuss strategies and methods for enhancing a team approach to palliative care Write a theory of spiritual care in palliative care settings

Lisa Irish MEd MA BCC, Chaplain, Bereavement Coordinator, Yale-New Haven Hospital, St. Raphael Campus, New Haven, CT

Those who minister to the bereaved serve as a stabilizing presence in the uncertain waters of loss and grief. A healing presence is best offered when attention is given to ones own experiences of loss, allowing an emotionally informed hope to nurture one's authentic, supportive presence. The universal nature of grief allows shared understanding, the unique nature of grief calls for continued learning and respect for the process. This intensive invites participants to reflect on personal loss, connect it to current bereavment theory, and offer clear ideas, such as creative ritual, for bereavement ministry

Participant Goals: Utilize a working understanding of Stage Theory and the Dual Process Model in Bereavement Theory Identify healing opportunities for the bereaved through creative ritual Apply skills of motivational interviewing to clinical work Reflect on bereavement ministry through the lens of emotionally informed hope as an alternative to the concerns and limitations of counter transference

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach to helping people name and address ambivalence when looking at change. Oftern chaplains are in a position to accompany people in processing the changes that come with health problems. This workshop will outline skills for MI. It will claim skills from MI that are standard behaviors and introduce tools for decision-making on the part of patients. There will be paper--and-pencil opportunities to practice skills using cases studies. Finally, participants will reflect on how their work as chaplains differs from that of others in health care who might also use MI. Using cases studies, there will be paper-and-pencil opportunities to practice skills, as well as opportunities to role play or observe role playing.

Participant Goals: Name skills and theory of Motivational Interviewing Apply skills of Motivational Interviewing to clinical work Identify chaplains' similarities to and differences from others who counsel patients
