Foundations in Pastoral Care: Pastoral Training Course Part 1
A 6-week online course that supports the development of firm foundations for the practical provision of pastoral care with others.
Pastoral accompaniment at the end of life
Aim of training: The purpose of this training session is to equip and enable pastoral carers and ministers to accompany those within our
churches and communities who are at the end of their life.
Caring for ourselves
This two-session course is designed to equip pastoral carers to support their own holistic wellbeing. Supporting wellbeing is essential for pastoral carers as it protects carers from overload, compassion fatigue and burnout. As such, it also supports the ministry of pastoral care to be safe and sustainable for both the pastoral carer and those being cared for.
