Spring is always an exciting time for the Foundation for ACPE. Many of you have responded to the call for grant proposals and service award nominations. As sub-committees of the Foundation Board review these applications, we continue to be moved by the amazing work done by Psychotherapists, Certified Educators and Certified Educator Candidates. The creative and innovative ideas shared through the grant proposals continue to advance the mission and values of ACPE.

Interested in Gathering with Individuals Sharing a Similar or Values-Based Orientation?
A crucial aspect of the ACPE Annual Conference is the chance to engage with individuals sharing a similar spiritual or values-based orientation. To facilitate this connection, we have extended an invitation to our endorsing bodies to organize breakfast events for their members during the conference. All arrangements will be made through the host representative of the respective endorsing group.
To broaden inclusivity and reach out to those beyond the endorsing bodies, we are now extending a general invitation to all members, encouraging them to invite individuals aligned with their spiritual or values-based orientation to connect at the conference. Whether you are aware of a representative or sponsor that might host your group for a breakfast, or you simply want to convene your group for time together, we offer the following forms in order that we may help you with these arrangements.

About the Speaker
Tim Cunningham, RN, is former Co-Chief Well-Being Officer at Emory Healthcare and the Woodruff Health Sciences Center at Emory University and is faculty at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing at Emory. He collaborates with interprofessional teams to support structural and systemic well-being change for healthcare teams and professionals, university staff and faculty, researchers, learners, and community members. His clinical background is emergency nursing and his publications, including two books on nurse well-being and a children’s book on resilience, discuss ways as to how we can practice compassion in the most challenging of settings.
Cunningham’s first passion was in the performing arts—theatre, clown, dance and acrobatics. He worked as an actor for nearly a decade in various regional theatres in the U.S. and internationally. It was because of those experiences he began work with Clowns Without Borders in 2003. A small non-profit organization, Clowns Without Borders sends professional artists into war zones, refugee camps and other zones of crisis with the simple mission of catalyzing laughter and playfulness. Tim has performed in more than 20 countries with the clowns, he has served as Executive Director of Clowns Without Borders and now serves as Board President. It was working in a pediatric ward in pre-earthquake Haiti that inspired Tim to study nursing.
He graduated from the University of Virginia School of Nursing in 2009 and then worked an emergency/trauma nurse at the UVA Health, Children’s National Medical Center and New York Presbyterian, Cornell. Tim completed his Doctorate of Public Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University in 2016.
