Adverse childhood
experiences (ACEs)
commonly occur across
demographics in our
society, resulting in an array
of physical, psychological,
spiritual, and community
consequences. To this end,
effective identification and
management of ACEs is
particularly crucial within
the primary care context,
often an entry point for
healthcare for vulnerable
children and families. The
current workshop will afford
participants an overview
of a foundational ACEs
study and offer insights into
mechanisms for addressing
ACEs from a holistic health
perspective. Further, the
workshop will encourage
ongoing dialogue
regarding opportunities for
growth within the primary
care environment.
As CCHF transitions
into the new healthcare
environment, a new
generation of pioneers are
ready to bring shape and
growth to this movement.
Come and hear how
these emerging leaders
are applying established
principles of living out the
gospel through healthcare
among the poor. Several
of these young physician
leaders are in the midst
of startups. Others are
still in their training, but
with clear ideas of what
it means to serve Christ
missionally through
medicine. Attendees, too,
can become emerging
leaders and pioneers-
-men and women who
will bring glory to God,
expand the Kingdom of
Jesus, encourage the
wider Church, and bring
healthcare equity to our
marginalized neighbors.
While we may not be able
to “fix” the immigration
challenges on a federal
level, we all have the opportunity
to advocate
and act on a local level.
Goshen, IN is a small town
with a surprisingly large
Hispanic community. Center
for Healing & Hope, a
Christian charitable clinic
that serves this marginalized
population, engaged
in a collaborative process to
offer and produce “Goshen
Resident Identification
Cards” (GRID) in response
to the challenges that
immigrants currently face.
This session will utilize the 6
CCHF Principles of Christian
Health Care to share the
story of how this project
came about, the initial
implementation challenges,
and current status of this
project, in the Christian
effort to create “community
for all”.
Does modern medicine
eliminate and ignore the
place for spirituality and
spiritual care? Is there
evidence that spirituality,
and Biblical spiritual
disciplines in particular,
has an affect on health
outcomes? This session
will first look at current
evidence surrounding the
effect of spirituality on
health. The second half
will provide some practical
tools and practices that you
as health care worker can
employ and empower your
patients to practice that will
lead to true transformation
of their health and their
lives. This workshop is
appropriate for providers
and support staff at all
levels.
How do we overcome our
tepid half-hardheartedness
to being a faithful and true
witness of Christ Jesus
in His work of healing,
restoration and health?
Both individuals and
local churches struggle
in the desire to commit
to bold transformations
for the implementation of
God’s health agenda. The
struggle to create a mission
driven culture is real but not
insurmountable. We invite
anyone vested in Christian
healing communities to
join us in reflecting on how
we can embrace major
reformation, renewal, and
investments in promoting
the physical and spiritual
healing felt needs of our
communities.
