Spiritual Care Providers working within correctional facilities across multiple faith identities face many challenges every day. But now, in pandemic conditions, the complexities have multiplied: grief needs, religious accommodations, increased stress and trauma on both those who are incarcerated and staff, and overall strain on already scant resources. Join us for a critical conversation with chaplain colleagues who are working in various correctional contexts, including men’s and women’s, private/federal/state/county, juvenile/adult facilities. How are they providing care and hope during COVID-19?
