INTENSIVE optional online
Staff Care and Wellbeing: Issues and Application, examines the theory and implementation of staff care and wellbeing in different contexts, including consideration of non-western perspectives. A range of complex issues faced by staff care providers will be discussed, including (but not restricted to): selection and pre-field training, transitions (including re-entry), cross-cultural teams and conflict transformation, debriefing, pastoral and interpersonal issues, generational issues, and third culture kids (TCKs). The course will enable students to reflect on and develop their competencies in addressing these and other complex issues of care, in a variety of cultural contexts, for individuals, families, and teams. The course is suitable for those experienced in member care, staff care and wellbeing, the wider human resources sector, and those in a Church context with pastoral oversight or responsibility for sending and supporting cross-cultural workers.
Those accessing Advanced Short Courses will be provided with relevant reading materials and other information to enable their full participation in the course.
ASC participants are not required to complete an assignment and will receive a certificate of participation on completion of the course.
