Transforming Pastoral Care Amidst COVID-19 – Monday Cohort
May 4, 2020 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
$175
DEEPENINGÂ SKILLS FOR TRAUMA-ORIENTED MINISTRY PRACTICE
COVID-19 is a global traumatic event.
This in-depth course will help reorient you for the drastically changed context for ministry and deepen your capacity for pastoral caregiving amidst the trauma of COVID-19. Dr Julie Clayton and Michael Collins will equip you to face the disorientation of this time within your own skin as well as to more fully understand the disorientation of trauma and how it may impact those within your pastoral care, your family, and community at large.
The most common description of this time is ‘unprecedented’. Our ministry practice can not simply carry on with skills from a pre-trauma-oriented time and be resilient enough to cope with the shifts, limits, losses and restrictions the pandemic has brought in its wake.
Over 8 weeks, your small learning cohort will develop a framework for trauma-oriented pastoral ministry from locating yourself in the context, to capacity building in the face of traumatic responses of many kinds, to dialogue more broadly about the theological narrative through it all.
This course is limited to active ministry personnel.
