Caregivers in our Midst: An Integrative Approach to Pastorally Minister to Caregivers

90 Minute Workshops
Sunday, June 2, 2019 (8:45 am session)
Workshop Level: Intermediate
NACC Certification Competencies: PPS2, PPS6, OL5

In the US today, there are an estimated 65 million family caregivers struggling with stress, guilt, and spiritual depletion. These silently suffering caregivers are encountered regularly by Pastoral Chaplains. Through a round-table discussion, explore resources and best practices to effectively minister to this ever-growing population. Hear the Nourish for Caregivers Co-Founders and interdisciplinary pastoral care leaders’ perspective on how supporting family caregivers extends God’s love to families helping them find strength and the love of Christ.

As a result of this workshop, participants will:

  1. Understand the breadth and depth of family caregiving today and appreciate how caring for caregivers is applicable to the ministry of chaplains, as it further supports patient care.
  2. Experience, from the perspective of multiple partners in pastoral care, ways to collaborate to meet the spiritual needs of family caregivers.
  3. Be provided a resource to address the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of family caregivers.
