About the host
Madonna J. Arsenault, Rev., M.Div., CSD, Chaplain, CADC, CPSS *Blessings of deep peace be with you; I’m grateful you are here. I come from a long line of indigenous healers and am a Christian believer, mother and grandmother. I’m also a teacher of beautiful things and an encourager of spirit with many years of experience providing spiritual and emotional care with persons who are our most vulnerable from diverse populations, bringing hope to life. "What delight comes to the one who follows God's ways!" Psalm 1:1 “…the unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy”. These words speak of honoring God in the present moment and with hope, waiting for a turn in circumstances, and lifting the hope with a promise of joy and trust while waiting on the other side of a hard now. In peer support, that’s what we do together in a safe and confidential space of empathetic and compassionate connection. The most important thing for us is to know that we are not alone in the life challenges we are facing. *Please reach out to me here on Hey Peers if you desire to connect for one-to one peer support, spiritual care, emotional support, and wellness planning. Deep peace, Madonna *Credentials: Ordained Christian Minister with Volunteers of America M.Div., Master of Divinity Hospital Chaplain Hospice Chaplain Chaplain and Minister for Volunteers of America, Certified Spiritual Director Birth Doula Trainer/Facilitator Shay Moral Injury Center, VOA Certified Peer Support Specialist Certified in Alcohol and Drug Counseling Clinical Therapeutic Musician Residential Counselor *Groups on Hey Peers where you will find me as a peer supporter: Volunteers of America: VOA ReST for First Responders VOA ReST for Veterans, VOA ReST General DBSA: DBSA Friends and Family DBSA Adult/Online Hey Peers Certified Meetings: Grief Support Depression Recovery Pregnancy and Postpartum Care and Support Growing Together: New Moms Communities I have created with support groups: Soul Care for Women Soul Care for Women: Bible Study Plumbline Collective One-to-One Life and Wellness Coaching, and Spiritual Direction
Motivation for help
I have been to the dark edges of deep sorrow and pain, and I have been brought to a sacred garden of joy and peace. My life is a story full of hope on this journey, and I’ve found that there is healing in the sharing our stories, more importantly, having our stories witnessed and believed is when the power of healing begins to arrive.
