SERVICE DETAILS
Pastoral care is the ministry of care and counselling with a focus on healing, reconciling, guiding and sustaining.
During visits, the presence of the PEACE dog helps to create a relaxed environment in which the person being visited and the pastoral carer can enjoy conversation and companionship. The pastoral carer offers both a listening ear and a means of support, happy to talk through any concerns or fears a person may have. PEACE’s pastoral carers are not trained counsellors, but do have experience in advising and helping people through difficult times.
Where appropriate, the pastoral carer can discuss questions people may have about the Christian faith, explaining the peace that can be found through a relationship with God. For people who would like to attend church but are unable to do so, the pastoral carer can read the Bible or pray with them if they wish.
