Systemic Issues in Healthcare
Episode description
Our healthcare system is littered with systemic issues that are often (intentionally) not talked about. So, let's start a conversation about it! Today, I have Abby Brockman on the podcast who is a Jewish board-certified clinical trauma chaplain. She received her Masters of Divinity from Boston University's School of Theology, completed her clinical residency at the Seattle VA hospital, and worked as a staff chaplain for many years at Seattle Children's Hospital in their Cancer Care Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and In-patient Psychiatric Unit. She specializes in trauma, grief and loss, and end-of-life work and recently started her own private practice to provide spiritual care. Her work is deeply informed by an anti-oppression ethic and advocates for a systemic lens/ power analysis in all of her conversations about mental health and wellness. And, she believes there are gateways to holiness everywhere! For More Information about Abby Brockman: Instagram: @abby.brockman
