The Attuned Listener Course
Listening and support skills to care for those in your church and in your community!
Many of us have felt overwhelmed with wanting to help, but unsure of what to say. So I get why staff and volunteers are hesitant to join Care Ministry.
But, at a time when so many people are experiencing loneliness and suffering, the church is being called on as a key support.
Learn how to support others through effective listening.
Sign up for this 8 week course. The Attuned Listener. Starts August 5, 2024.
