"Creating
A Healing Community"
13-Session Intensive Weekend Workshop
The
workshop,
which serves as the basic training course for Lifeline
Chaplaincy pastoral care volunteers, focuses on
listening skills, self-awareness, and interpersonal
skills. It is recommended for chaplains (lay and
professional), ministers, church leaders, and others
who provide spiritual support to the seriously ill,
their families and caregivers.
The
training consists of thirteen hours in a classroom
setting (see the current schedule on the right).
The ultimate goal of training is to help one develop
skills that will allow him or her to effectively
minister to others throughout his or her lifetime.
For those who wish to minister in a hospital setting,
an additional orientation workshop and 10 hours
of visitation with an experienced Lifeline Chaplaincy
volunteer is required.
