Treats the topics of listening, uncovering the meta-story, knowing when to make referrals and the importance of self-care. 25-minute video with study guide.

Pastoral Care, a six-video set, helps parishes train those who, in the name of Christ and of your community, reach out to the sick. Each video begins with a re-enacted true story of a pastoral care volunteer and a person in need. Then the host, Gaynell Bordes Cronin, provides practical advice on what a pastoral care volunteer is called to do. Insights are given as to what the person in need may be experiencing and how the pastoral care volunteer may respond. The six tapes (25 minutes each) in the series are:

An Overview of Pastoral Care
Building Skills for Effective Pastoral Caregiving
Assessing and Discerning
Pastoral Care for People With Cancer
Pastoral Care of the Dying
Pastoral Care Living With HIV/AIDS
