The Spiritual Care Specialist Training teaches people engaged in ministries of care to integrate knowledge and skills from the behavioral health field into their work in order to perform their caregiving more effectively, ethically, and safely.
This is a virtual training program. A zoom link will be provided by your trainer prior to the start date.
• What is the Spiritual Care Specialist Training Program?
• People practicing in care ministries, whether professional or volunteer positions, sometimes find themselves at a loss as to how to respond to the kinds of problems around which their care-receivers are seeking help. Addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, and domestic violence are only a few issues that may require a mental health perspective.
• Have you ever wanted to learn more about these kinds of issues and build your repertoire of helping skills, so that you can provide a more competent and confident ministry of care? ACPE’s Spiritual Care Specialist training program supports people working in all manner of caring ministries to do their work more effectively, ethically, and safely.
This series of training sessions will include expressive arts processing as appropriate and desired by the group. No previous art experience necessary.
