CREDO opportunities for service members and families By Lt. Cmdr. Edward Erwin NAS Sigonella Religious Ministries Department NAS SIGONELLA, Sicily - The Religious Ministries Department will sponsor a number of upcoming CREDO (Chaplains Religious Enrichment Development Operations) opportunities for service members and families. The training events, which enhance personal well-being, strengthen families, and enrich relationships, are absolutely free! All of the weekend retreats, which are hosted at the Sheraton Hotel Catania, provide free meals in a most elegant atmosphere, conducive to personal resiliency and growth. On Feb. 20-22, CREDO will offer a Family Enrichment Retreat, which fosters family unity and cohesion amidst the challenges of separation, relocations, and reunions. The retreat provides exercises that increase quality communication, problem-solving, and family togetherness. On Feb. 27-March 1, CREDO will lead a Personal Resilience Retreat to help participants explore their past, clarify who they are, and where they want to go in the future in terms of individual aspirations. The retreat will empower all to develop the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of their lives. On March 3-4, CREDO will host an ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills and Training) Workshop, designed to train caregivers in suicide first aid. The class facilitates more competence and confidence on the part of first responders in preventing the risk of suicide in our community. All graduates will receive a certificate for successful completion of the two-day course. On March 6-8, you are invited to a Marriage Enrichment Retreat in which couples can experience group instruction, private discussions, and free time to interact and reconnect as couples. The retreat helps couples to work on communication skills, resolve conflict, and deepen intimacy. On March 8-10, the Women’s Resilience Retreat focuses on the values of respect, trust, and collegiality among women in a stress-free environment. The retreat fosters self-care, family enrichment, and personal development. For more information on any of these workshops or retreats, you may contact the Religious Ministries Department for a more detailed brochure on the specifics of each of these offerings at 624-3975. Because space is limited, we encourage you to register as soon as possible for these exciting CREDO opportunities.
