Learner Education
Clinical Psychospiritual Education (CPE) is an experience-based approach to learning spiritual care and counselling which combines care with qualified supervision and group reflection. CPE is normally in an inter-disciplinary context where the insights of other professions promote creative dialogue and where cooperation is encouraged with other workers and agencies serving the community. The program is open to people who are interested in pursuing a profession in spiritual care or counselling.
CPE is undertaken in educational units, the content and duration of which are determined by the educational stream and centre chosen. CPE may be taken in consecutive units, but many Learners find it useful to take time for the integration of learning and completion of other education.
Learners are also engaged in a program of study to meet the requirement of the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO). This program of study is at one of the recognized providers by the CRPO that meets the requirements for certification by CASC/ACSS.
