Guide for compassionate, unpaid caregivers' skill development
Chill Convo: Spiritual Care Training with the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland 🕯️🤝
Ever thought about lending a helping hand in spiritual matters, particularly in places like hospitals, nursing homes, or community work? If so, here's your chance! The Evangelical Church in the Rhineland invites individuals aged between 25 and 70 to partake in a one-year spiritual care training program.
The backbone of thisprogram is the principle, "Meeting life, accompanying life." Emotional stability, empathy, and a knack for conversation are crucial to help those in need spiritually.
As crises and suffering often come up in spiritual care, trust and confidentiality are pillars to success. However, it's equally important for caregivers to be aware of their own boundaries.
The training program covers more than just appealing conversation techniques. It also delves into handling grief, mental illness, and self-reflection about one's role as a spiritual care provider. Tools like ethical decision-making, self-care, and collaboration with various stakeholders are all part of the curriculum.
Interested in joining? The training bouts a maximum of 15 participants for an intimate, personalized learning experience. Before diving in, a preliminary interview is required to assess suitability and potential work areas.
For those volunteering in spiritual care for at least two years within the Moers or Krefeld-Viersen church districts, the program is free! For others, the participation fee is a reasonable 920 euros. Reach out via email: [email protected] or give us a call at +49 152 58430146.
If you're looking for a rewarding journey with a clear purpose, don't miss out on this opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone's life! 💖🙏
FYI: Church-led training programs often expect applicants to have a theological or pastoral background, including university-level studies or vocational training. They may also require prior church-based care experience and a recommendation from a church authority, showcasing spiritual maturity and commitment.
The program usually consists of modules such as theological reflection, practical training, communication skills, ethics, self-care, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Costs can vary, but many programs are subsidized, and some may only require a registration or administrative fee. Always ensure you contact the local Evangelical Church office or district for the most updated information about their program. 🕊️💪📞
