Building Blocks in Pastoral Care: Pastoral Training Course Pt2
Building Blocks in Pastoral Care: Pastoral Training Course Pt2
This 6-session course is designed as a follow-on
training course to ACC’s ‘Foundations in Pastoral Care’. It is best suited
to experienced pastoral carers who are actively involved in pastoral
care ministry and who routinely encounter a wide range of pastoral
care needs.
The course is aimed at pastoral carers who have previously joined us
for our ‘Foundations in Pastoral Care’ course (or our previous 10 week
Resourcing Pastoral Care Course), as material covered in part 1 will be
assumed, or an experienced Christian Pastoral Carer. If you wish to enrol on this course and have completed an alternative pastoral care training, please contact us to explore if this course would be suitable for you.
If you have previously joined us for the 10-week Resourcing Pastoral Care Course, this new option provides additional learning to extend your practice as a pastoral carer. We would hope that you are actively involved in pastoral care and regularly encounter a range of pastoral needs as you care for others.
Each week provides an engaging range of activities such as teaching, group work, discussion, individual reflection and prayer to enable:
- embedding of theory and practice through real scenarios
- exploration of the complexities of commonly encountered pastoral situations
- increased self-awareness and personal spiritual growth
Topics are many and varied; it is a full programme. We include advanced listening skills; the use of empathy, presence, scripture and prayer; pastoral care responses to loss, grief, suffering and their impact on the journey of faith; pastoral support during bereavement and mental health challenges; spiritual need; preparing ourselves for pastoral care; attending to our own wellbeing and faith journey.
Please note that some of the course content, e.g. loss and grief, could be potentially triggering. If you are unsure and would like to discuss before booking, please contact us at office@acc-uk.org.
