In so many ways, I feel fortunate to listen to twenty-somethings wonder what ever happened to summer. They reflect on the days just a few short years in their past when school stopped for a while, where they filled their days with play, camps, sleep, and long hours with friends. Some of them worked summer jobs, and some worked more than one. But as I heard one of them recently ask, what happened to the pause, the slow down, the break? 

Juneteenth, a nationally recognized federal holiday, is celebrated on June 19.

Juneteenth is a celebratory moment that has transcended into a movement for emancipation, liberation, and self-actualization of African Americans in the United States of America. On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas. They had to physically force racist white enslavers to stop enslaving Black persons and ignoring or refusing to honor President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which outlawed the enslavement of Black bodies and went into effect six months earlier on January 1, 1863.

Interdisciplinary team approaches to providing spiritual support contribute to patient satisfaction, quality of life, and decreased healthcare cost. Although it is understood that chaplains are spiritual care experts and nurses are spiritual care generalists, the scanty evidence about collaboration between these two disciplines suggests that it can be inadequate. Thus, this presentation will review empirical evidence that describes chaplain-nurse interactions and perspectives.

In 2019 a group of “Enneagram aficionados” around the county came together to form the “Enneagram in CPE” Community of Practice. We intended to exchange ideas on integrating the Enneagram into our CPE curriculum in various life-giving, educational, and spiritual growth-oriented ways. In our monthly meetings, we have focused on continuing our enneagram learning, using self-awareness of our types to enhance our supervision, consulting on student issues in light of Enneagram, and discussing ways to integrate the model into our curricula.
