Advisor

Hospital Chaplin
E-mail: DCBrand42@aol.com


Greetings: I have just sent my first email to Senior Site Advisors and in looking through the categories noticed that there is nothing dealing with religion and health or spirituality. I am a hospital chaplain, certified clinical pastoral education supervisor, family therapist, and spiritual director.

These activities nest pretty well together. I would be happy to provide credentials if you wish. I am still working, but have past my 55th birthday and consider myself bridging between working for a living and working for love - which is what I expect to do in retirement. Anyway, if I can help, let me know.

Education:

Certification: Ordained, Presbyterian Church (USA) (1968); Board Certified Chaplain, College of Chaplains (1972); Full Supervisor, Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (1972); Family Therapist, Family Institute of Chicago (1976)

Work History: 22 years in institutional chaplaincy/pastoral education supervision, eight years in parish ministry. Chaplaincy experience includes medical, mental health, substance abuse, and corrections - in that order of time spent. I currently serve as Director of Pastoral Care for Presbyterian Healthcare Services in ABQ.

Personal: I am 55 years old, married for 33 years to a MA level, elementary school teacher. We have two grown children. We have lived in Albuquerque for 4.5 years and love the Southwest - both of us being originally from the Ohio River valley.

Hope I can be some help. Peace, Cal Brand
