The Spiritual Care Specialist Training offers a structured opportunity for those serving in care ministries to strengthen the skills needed to respond effectively to a wide variety of concerns. Many caregivers, whether in volunteer or professional roles, encounter situations involving addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, grief, and domestic violence. These issues often call for an understanding of behavioral health perspectives in order to provide care that is ethical, safe, and effective.
This training, beginning March 10 and ending May 5, is designed to help participants integrate those perspectives with their existing approach to care. The program includes a total of 48 hours of learning and support. Phase 1 consists of 28 hours of self paced material that includes prerecorded lectures totaling 16 hours, along with 12 hours of assignments and personal reflection exercises. All materials are provided, and no additional books are required. Students can begin Phase 1 at any time before the live sessions begin and can access the content early when they register ahead of the start date.
Phase 2 consists of 20 hours of live group instruction conducted on Zoom. These sessions meet weekly on Tuesdays from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM Eastern Time. Attendance at all sessions is required in order to complete the course and receive the certificate of completion. Participants will explore topics such as Images of Pastoral Care, Ethics, Listening in the Service of Healing, Spiritual Assessment, Marriage and Family, Substance Abuse and Addiction, Mental Health, Trauma, Domestic Violence, and Grief.
The overall goal of the program is to support caregivers in providing more competent and confident care rooted in a deeper understanding of behavioral health.
Registration is $600. A brief meeting with an instructor is required prior to receiving a registration code.
