Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center to host virtual clergy training

WALLA WALLA—The Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center’s Chaplain Service is hosting a virtual community clergy training program June 23 from 8-10 a.m. for clergy throughout the Jonathan M. Wainwright VA’s catchment area (which covers 16 counties in 3 states).

The purpose of the training is to provide support to rural clergy and educate them on the readjustment and other needs of returning Veterans and their families so we can collaboratively serve and support them together.

Presentations include: suicide prevention, presented by Jonathan M. Wainwright VA’s chaplain, Neissha King, and moral injury, presented by guest presenter Dr. Jeanette Harris.

Those interested are asked to please RSVP via email to Neissha.King@va.gov to claim a spot for this event and to receive the virtual connection information. If you have questions or need additional information, contact Chaplain Neissha King at 509.525.5200, ext. 26181.

Jonathan M. Wainwright VA’s Chaplain Service is dedicated to meeting the needs of local Veterans, and we want to partner with our community in creating a collaborative environment to support our Veterans. Help us take care of our Veterans!
