This course equips students for pastoral care for individuals, families and congregations in crisis. Students will be become familiar with common contexts that precipitate experiences of crisis or trauma, and gain skills in offering practical and spiritual care. Understanding the roles of various other providers of safety or care in times of crisis will enable effective partnership. Resources in preventing and mitigating crises through ministries of community/congregational education and preparedness will be studied and developed.
