Novel Approaches to Behavioral Health Innovation: Spiritual Health in Psychedelic Medicine: A Meeting of Science and Culture - Enduring
Conversations involving religion and science have historically been a minefield not for the faint of heart. The metaphysical underpinnings of faith traditions and beliefs have been suspected of impeding natural science and the bio-medical culture of western allopathic healthcare. One profession within healthcare that has stood out as an exception to this tension has been the profession of board-certified healthcare chaplaincy that has existed and evolved into its current form for over 70 years. Prior to this period chaplains were purely religious professionals representing and responding to persons from their own faith traditions. They were largely outside of the healthcare institutions and separate from other disciplines. Today, there are over 10,000 inclusive-driven multi-cultural clinicians serving within medical facilities in North America alone. We are now into the next era of building on the progress of the legacy of chaplaincy. Emory University has taken the lead to take this legacy and establish a new evidence-based discipline that is charged to respond to persons "as they are" in their health distress respectful of the wide expanse of the values the person holds, be they explicitly spiritual or not. This position of establishing post-chaplaincy spiritual health clinicians as interdisciplinary team players makes horizontal the work of responding to persons on the widest spectrum of emotional well-being in the multi-faceted contexts of care and treatment. Psychedelic medicine as a compound-assisted therapy has been shown to manifest subjective spiritual experiences leading to sustained benefits in mental health. This talk is designed to help our healthcare disciplines and healthcare leaders understand the economic and efficacious value of the competencies associated with spiritual health as a critical feature in the provision of psychedelic-assisted therapy and in the wider expanse of whole person health.
This educational activity is designed to change learner competence and focuses on the following competency areas:
- The American Board of Medical Specialties: Patient care and procedural skills, Medical knowledge
- Nursing: Employ evidence-based practice
- Center for the Advancement or Pharmacy Education: Health and wellness, Interprofessional collaboration, Learner, Patient-centered care
- Pharmacy Technician Certification Board: Pharmacology
- Interprofessional Education Collaborative: Interprofessional Communication
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Engage in self-reflection, Value diversity in the clinical encounter
Intended Audience
This activity is designed for Psychologists, Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians, Physicians, Nurses, Physician Assistants, Social Workers, and other behavioral health clinicians.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will be able to:
- Describe the cultural evolution of healthcare chaplaincy to become the revolution which is evidence-based spiritual health--a discipline among disciplines in health science and whole person healthcare.
- Describe the three elements of research, application and state of being within the discipline of spiritual health that make it indispensable to the growth and efficacy of psychedelic medicine.
- Describe the present and future economy and ecology of spiritual health's influence in mental health throughout the continuum of care.
Dr. Grant, a psychologist and theologian, is the Executive Director for Spiritual Health in the Woodruff Health Sciences Center at Emory University. He is responsible for the education of spiritual health clinicians, the service of spiritual health to patients and staff across Emory Healthcare and a scientific research arm driving evidence-based outcomes. Dr. Grant also serves as Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Emory Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality.
At the core of his work is the vision and co-development of a healthcare distress intervention that cuts across cultures. CCSH™ (Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health) is a program to bolster the wellbeing, resilience, and compassion of healthcare patients and staff. CCSH™ augments spiritual health education and best practices with CBCT® (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training), a program developed at the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics at Emory University. CCSH™ interventions are delivered by spiritual health professionals trained in both CBCT® and ACPE: The Standard in Spiritual Care and Education.
