Understanding Your Congregation
-- Pastoral Care and Mental Health

A forum for pastors and religious professionals for the deepening and improvement of pastoral care and clinical skills.

Why the Pastoral Care Forum
Church professionals continue to be a front-line resource for persons experiencing problems in their daily lives.

The knowledge, skill, and sensitivity functions of ministry are key components in one's level of effectiveness. However, the problems with which persons are dealing are often complex, and pastors and others involved in ministry seldom receive adequate training in pastoral care skills.
