Mission: Providing a unique online interfaith CPE opportunity for non-traditional candidates (Spanish, English, and Bilingual) to practice and serve under-served populations. We also aim to serve those who, because of geographic or educational limitations, might otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate in CPE.

​

Vision: We offer CPE units in Spanish and English to students from many different geographic locations and faith backgrounds. As a result, we are striving to fulfill our vision of providing CPE training to chaplains who may not otherwise have been able to receive training due to language, location, and education barriers.   

​

Objectives: Buen Vivir CPE trains those in settings where attending traditional in-person CPE is challenging.  We recognize that hospitals, hospices, and other institutions require chaplains to have CPE training. Buen Vivir CPE aims to support potential students working full-time as chaplains in these settings, who may not be able to leave their jobs to attend CPE. 

​Buen Vivir CPE offers spiritual care and referral to communities in which students are already residing and working.  So, instead of being limited to a single institutional setting, our program reaches any and all communities, without cultural or geographic limits.  We are providing CPE training where students find themselves and that meets the ACPE accreditation requirements for establishing a relationship with a spiritual care practicum site/clinical site.
