The College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy is a theologically based covenant community, dedicated to "recovery of the soul" and promoting competency in the clinical pastoral field.
« Reflection on CPSP's 2009 Plenary by Barbara McGuire | Main | CPSP People in the News: George Hull »
The best way to ward off fear and stay healthy is with preparation, education and communication. As the World Health Organization (WHO) grabs headlines raising the risk of a potential H1N1 Flu Virus pandemic alert to a Phase V – it is inevitable that our communities will be affected emotionally and physically.
In your toolbox is your local American Red Cross chapter. They are offering free classes for individuals and groups, along with kits to empower the public. A helpful site for updates, FAQ’s and information can be found at: http://www.nyredcross.org/page.php/prmID/767
CPSP, in partnership with ARC – encourages our members to become associated with their local chapters, before any disaster happens; whether it is the flu, fires, floods or accidents. It can be frustrating and counter-productive to be caught in the quagmire of red tape and background checks when the need arises and time is short – in our own community or in our country.
Good luck and stay well,
Linda Walsh-Garrison
CPSP/ARC liaison
