Clergy Resources
The Samaritan Counseling Center recently received a grant to provide some innovative programs for pastors and congregations. I am writing to tell you about several of our programs.
Clergy Leadership Group: A monthly group to discuss leadership issues and challenges within your ministry setting. Please follow the link for information regarding this group.
Prepare Enrich Seminar: A program for pre-married couples, and married couples to help them identify and work with strengths and grow areas within their relationship. This training prepares you to utilize five inventories, three for premarriage, one for marriage, and one for couples over the age of 50.
Critical Incident Debriefings in Congregations: Provides a debriefing following a time of tragedy, significant loss, or trauma. Provides tools for healing and self-care for clergy and congregational members.
