Our Program

Uplift is an ACPE-accredited program that provides space for ministers to increase their self-compassion; to receive support as often-unsupported caregivers; and to increase their ability to serve without compromising self-service.

Available Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Units

Uplift may modify group offerings to meet demand, including adding group days/times and/or changing available groups. Applicants are encouraged to apply 3-6 months before their unit of interest when possible. The offerings below are scheduled across the Uplift educational team which includes the founding educator and other ACPE certified educators. Educator/group assignments are made across the educational team and during the weeks leading to the unit. Interested students should inquire by email, education@upliftcare.net.
