Association of Christian Counsellors Releases Pastoral Training Resources
A revised pastoral skills training course has been produced by the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC) and will be released from mid-May.
The new initiative aims to make the ACC training resource more user-friendly, and hopes to attract ministers, church leaders wanting to build or support their pastoral team.
The course, which has a step-by-step format for ease of use, is promoted as being simple to use by anyone with a “reasonable knowledge of pastoral care”.
Overall, 22-hours of teaching are included, covering philosophy, need and context for care, as well as practical sessions on skills and processes.
