Foundations in pastoral care (Northern Ireland)

We are delighted to be partnering with Christian Guidelines to bring our pastoral care training to Northern Ireland, and help equip those in the ministry of pastoral care in churches and communities. 

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.
