Stephen Ministry Training Class
Pray for our Stephen Ministers as they continue to enhance their caregiving skills. Here is what they are learning this week.
Helping Suicidal Persons Get the Help They Need
Stephen Ministers are never knowingly assigned to someone who is or might be suicidal, but they may nonetheless find
themselves in a caring relationship with someone who is suicidal. If so, they need to know what to do. In this session, our Stephen Ministers explore how to determine the level of risk and how to refer the care receiver to a qualified professional.
