For people who find themselves in crisis, parish-based clergy and lay pastoral caregivers are often the first point of entry into our systems of community care. Clergy and their pastoral care teams frequently find themselves on the front lines of complex problems such as mental health care, addiction, domestic violence, complicated grief, and trauma recovery. The Pastoral Care Specialist Training program is a 48 hour course supporting caregivers of all skill levels to integrate their pastoral theologies and ministries of care with knowledge and skills from the behavioral sciences. What does it mean to provide trauma-informed care? How do we ensure we are providing care ethically? How do we set compassionate boundaries so that we are simultaneously caring for ourselves? What do we do when our care-receiver's theological perspective is very different from our own?

This intensive format begins on Tuesday, September 26th and runs every Tuesday through the end of November from 4PM to 7PM Pacific time. It offers 24 hours of in-class time and 24 hours of self-directed work.
