Create the Pastoral Care Center that your flock needs Contract
Pastoral Care and Education: The Trend of the Future? provides
clergy of all faiths and pastoral care students with insight into
the shifting role of chaplains in today's health care environment
and explains why many of these positions are disappearing.
Examining alternatives to working at hospitals and health care
agencies, such as establishing independent contract centers that
are commissioned by health care organizations, this book examines
the many questions that chaplains are more frequently asking about
the stability of their profession. Comprehensive and current,
Contract Pastoral Care and Education offers suggestions and models
to help you plan your own pastoral care center and continue serving
individuals with spiritual care. This honest and informative book
contains discussions with chaplains and educators about nine of
these care centers in operation, as well as the responses of five
chaplains who offer compliments and constructive criticism of these
organizations. Exploring the reasons for the decrease in
opportunities for pastoral caregivers, such as the decrease of
rural populations and the increase of community-based services,
Contract Pastoral Care and Education provides you with tips and
suggestions that other centers use in order to be effective and
successful, including: raising funds from the community, state, and
government for operational fees appointing internal,
structure-diversified board members who serve without compensation
and officers and memberships with specific terms and functions
responding to the growing numbers of patients by training lay
persons under clinical supervision generating support groups
consisting of patients and family members from multiple bereavement
groups or organizations to offer comfort and care to othersFull of
insight and immediately useful techniques, Contract Pastoral Care
and Education will help you keep serving patients and assist you in
pursuing a growing facet of the pastoral care field.
