Many seniors become anxious and depressed as they age. They go through enormous changes, transitions, and loss – and they often need a renewed sense of meaning, purpose, and hope.
When caring for seniors, physical and mental health are essential – but they’re not enough. True holistic care means understanding and supplying their spiritual needs as well.
You can help meet those needs.
Menno Place is pleased to offer the Spiritual Care Series to help you become a trained and effective spiritual care provider for seniors.
This course is for everybody – professional care providers, ministry workers, volunteers, and family members. You’ll develop the skills to offer thoughtful and relevant spiritual support to help seniors discover pathways to meaningful aging.
Designed by world-renowned senior care experts, the course is built on 8 flexible learning modules that will provide you with everything from a realistic understanding of the aging process to practical techniques for re-connecting people with their pasts and coping with loss.
You’ll learn:
- What it means to age meaningfully
