Produktbeschreibung

By the grace of God, I have been enrolled in the Mental Health Integration for Chaplain Services (MHICS) program at Vanderbilt University since August 2023. I am filled with passion for this diverse community in which I live and serve. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms and have been in counseling and treatment for several years. My desire was and still is to develop a broader understanding of mental health. I have the knowledge to utilize my training to better serve those with whom I interact. I consistently practice Brené Brown's empathy approach, by going into those dark places with those who are suffering. I continue to exercise the ministry of presence. For example, Matt Sanders expressed, Our presence to one another is a very important part of the healing process.

Mental health issues and evidence-based practices significantly impact how I extend chaplaincy care. As I continue to work closely with the mental health providers, physicians, nurses, social workers, and administrative team for the care and well-being of each patient, family member, and staff, I am better equipped to provide support and/or pastoral care. I do so with the thought in mind; what might be essential, spiritual, emotional issues and/or concerns, and care plan thereof that would benefit other disciplines as well as integrate within the total holistic approach to providing pastoral care.

Raymond L. Williams, M. Div. Chaplain, became a student of the Bible at the age of twelve, trying to make sense of life's meaning and purpose. At age thirty-nine, he had a life-changing experience and asked God to be his teacher. Shortly thereafter and to his surprise, God opened the door for him to enroll in seminary, and he has been a student of the Word ever since. Raymond Williams attended Virginia University of Lynchburg, Liberty University, and Paul D. Camp Community College and is currently enrolled at Vanderbilt University. He has Board Certifications from the National Association of Veterans Affairs Chaplains, the Association of Professional Chaplains, and Specialty Certifications in both Hospice and Palliative Care, and Mental Health Integration for Chaplain Services. He is also a team member for the Veterans Health Administration in Colorado as the chaplain for veterans, family members, and staff.
