Life Perspectives provides training and resources to help hospitals, medical professionals, therapists, social workers, pregnancy centers, and community and faith leaders to offer hope, healing, and non-judgmental care to those experiencing reproductive grief and loss; in the past year alone, Life Perspectives has helped over 73,000 hurting men and women, and has trained over 2,100 community leaders and health care professionals. Fredenburg is also the author and editor of several books and resources on reproductive loss, including <i>Changed: Making Sense of Your Own or A Loved One\u2019s Abortion<\/i>, <i>Hope After Loss<\/i>, and <i>Grief and Abortion: Creating a Safe Place to Heal<\/i>. Besides writing numerous articles and appearing on over 100 radio and television programs, in May 2020, Fredenburg presented reproductive grief care training to DMU staff, faculty, students, and alumni.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Commencement_Fredenburg-3-300x200.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-26051 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-26051\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Commencement_Fredenburg-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/noscript>As the 2021 commencement speaker, Fredenburg shared the journey that created the desire in her to seek to create healing spaces for those experiencing reproductive grief of any kind. As a young ballroom dancer at the age of 18, Fredenburg chose to terminate a pregnancy that she felt threatened her career. The consequences of this decision were devastating to Fredenburg, and radically changed her life from that moment. With the help of professionals and trusted friends, she was able to grieve her choice and ultimately find peace, but her own experience opened her eyes to the similar pain and silent suffering of those around her. \u201cAs I began to share my story in the hope of breaking this pervasive silence, men and women shared their stories with me,\u201d said Fredenburg. \u201cThey taught me how to communicate with passion and empathy, they taught me how to listen, they showed me the depth of their shame, and taught me how to create a safe place for them to tell their story, a place where their loss could be acknowledged, where they could begin to grieve, where they could be assured that their children would not be forgotten.\u201d For Frendenburg, to glimpse into the private pain of another, and to be trusted with such a deeply personal and stigmatized experience, is a privilege. \u201cThese are truly sacred moments,\u201d said Fredenburg to the graduating students of DMU. \u201cHonor them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Dr.-Gisla-2021-Grad-5-300x200.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-26053 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-26053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Dr.-Gisla-2021-Grad-5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/noscript>Each year, the Distinguished Alumni Award goes to a graduate who has made significant contributions to society, and whose accomplishments, affiliation, and career have honored the legacy of DMU in the areas of professional achievement, leadership, service, and faithful advancement of its mission and vision. This year, the Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Dr. Gregory Gisla, who completed his doctorate at IPS in May of 2014. Dr. Gisla is currently the Director of Emergency Psychiatric Response and Patient Access at the Sutter Center for Psychiatry in Sacramento, California. He also has an out-patient private practice providing individual and couples\u2019 therapy, and specializes in working with severe mental illness and suicide assessment. To the graduating class of 2021, Dr. Gisla offered these words of advice:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cSo what can I offer you that may be of some help as you each begin your career in this fantastic field? First and foremost, stay close to God. You won\u2019t be successful in this field without him. If you try to take on human suffering alone, you\u2019ll get buried in all the pain, and you\u2019ll lose sight of the hope and redemption guaranteed through his resurrection. Trust that he will give you what you need to be successful in this vocation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And this is a vocation for which the need has become more and more critical. \u201cPerhaps more than ever, people today have a need to be heard, to be understood, and most of all, to be loved,\u201d said Father Sikorski to the DMU graduating class. \u201cYour studies and training have positioned you uniquely to do just that, and there can be no doubt about the collective, individual, and vital impact that you will have upon your communities, upon the culture, and upon the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Looking with Hope to the Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

with its 20<span class=\"s1\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span> graduating class, it looks toward the future with several new tracks in a wide variety of fields of study, including Marriage and Family Studies, which aims to help those interested in marriage and family ministry and care; Leadership Psychology, to offer students a solid education in transformational leadership to equip them to make a difference in the organizations in which they work; Human Service Counseling, to help individuals gain more applied and hands-on training in interpersonal relating, group counseling, and addictions work; and a pre-PhD program to assure foundational training in the areas of psychological research and writing for those moving toward doctoral studies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The new tracks were not selected at random \u2013 last fall, surveys were sent out to current students, as well as alumni and other individuals interested in DMU programming, requesting feedback on their needs and interests. \u201cThe choice of tracks is mostly a reflection of interest indicated in these surveys, as well as needs that we have observed over the years through advising and mentoring students on their capstone projects,\u201d says Dr. Julia Klausi, program director and associate professor at DMU. \u201cThese new concentrations will help students get more specific training for their areas of work and ministry, and broaden the impact of the Master of Science in Psychology degree by reaching individuals who need more specific training and might not have considered DMU for their education without these concentrations.\u201d<span class=\"s2\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These new offerings, which will be available for the fall semester, are just another example of how DMU takes the needs of its students and graduates to heart, and embodies its approach to psychology as one that prioritizes the human person. \u201cHaving the Catholic Christian view of the person as a starting point to the study of psychology adds incredible depth and richness to the understanding of the person and their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors,\u201d says Dr. Klausi. \u201cSeeing each individual as created with innate dignity and called to flourishing is essential for any work with people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 2021 graduates embark on their unique mission to accompany those who are suffering, to be present to those in need and to share the insights regarding the human person with everyone they encounter.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p
