Christian Social Work
Increasingly the non-professional is being called upon to assist those with ‘high-end’ acute issues. To do so demands being more than an empathetic friend.
This course equips people and churches in areas of best belief and best practice around working with broken and vulnerable people. A multi-disciplinarian approach will be used to explore a wide range of issues and each week will include input from specialist Christian social work practitioners.
