TRAININGS, WORKSHOPS, AND SEMINARS
COMPASSIONATE PRESENCE AND RESPONSE
A course designed with the church laity in mind. This twelve to twenty-hour class will give you a foundation for providing pastoral care and understanding how to approach various critical situations in the life of the church and its members.
WISE COUNSEL: EQUIPPING LAITY FOR A HELPING MINISTRY
This course is a continuation of Compassionate Presence and Response intended to help expand an individual lay person’s skills as they provide ongoing lay pastoral care and intervention to others.
DEALING WITH CRISIS AS A MINISTER
Unfortunately many times when a minister enters a crisis, few come to be by their side. This course teaches pastors and other clergy how to appropriately handle trauma when it comes to ministering to colleagues and ministering to themselves. The focus of the course keeps a strong self-concept in mind while remaining faithful to participants’ pastoral identity and calling.
THE MINISTRY OF PRESENCE
This training will provide keen insight of how to be present in the moment of a patient or family’s crisis. Often times we are compelled to say or do things that do further harm to the situation. Learn what these things are and how we can avoid them to help cultivate wholeness.
ACTIVE LISTENING
As care providers we should constantly and consistently listen to the whole person (mind, body, and soul) using all that we are. Learn how to listen to a person’s needs using your senses and use your perceptions as the guide.
REFLECTIVE CONVERSATION AND GUIDANCE
This training provides a basis for providing reflective conversation, hope, and healing to those we care for in times of joy and sadness. Insight into how to soothe those who are grieving will be discussed using such means as reflective dialogue, voice tone, voice rhythm, and encouragement.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES ON MOURNING
Theology plays a major role on how people grieve, but it should also give us insight into how to provide “patient first” care. This session will introduce the participant to multiple religions and cultures perceptions of death and how we can provide quality care. Things include what items should never be removed from a body, which direction to face the patient if at all possible, and how to help families in the mourning process.
DEALING WITH GRIEF AND TRAUMA
A discussion intended to give insight into the mind and hearts of individuals suffering from grief after a traumatic experience and how to appropriately engage them for comfort. We will explore what grief really is, what it does to us and how we can help ourselves and others survive the impact.
STRESS FIRST AID
Stress First Aid or Operational Stress First Aid is a flexible, multi-step process for the timely assessment and clinical care of stress reactions or injuries in individuals or units with the goals to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery.
These courses are merely examples of what we can provide. Allow us the opportunity to create a custom learning opportunity just for you!
