This equipping workshop cultivates and strengthens skills for reaching out in love and care and effectively helping others. This is much more than a review of your current skills and talents. In this experiential class, you’ll explore essential crisis communication tools, including initiating a relationship, effective listening, use of questions, mirroring techniques, non-verbal communications, Spirit-nudges and empowering those helped to pursue next steps. This is skill-by-skill, learning-by-doing, relational training that offers immediate application for emergency service chaplains, clergy, and peer supporters, both on call and in everyday life. This is a “Good Samaritan” ministry; becoming more aware of the hurts and needs of others, and partnering with God to offer help, hope and healing through faith-based resources.

Lodging

Lodging is nthe responsibility of the student

Beavercreek and nearby Fairborn have lots of hotels. Right now, most are offering state government rates (which all emergency service chaplains and fire/law enforcement/EMS peer supporters qualify for) around $110 per night. Don’t worry about their websites saying you need I.D., travel orders, etc. – we’ve never been asked for proof … although it doesn’t hurt to wear a fire or police t-shirt when checking in! Those rates will increase or disappear as we get closer and closer to the class dates, so make your reservations NOW.
