Caring Together: A Group Study Guide for Anyone Involved in Caring - Paperback

by Chris Morley (Author)

Many people offer committed care--to a family member, friend, neighbor, or fellow church member. The caring can last a few months or go on for years. It is frequently demanding and often rewarding. Talking about it in a supportive environment can make the caring more effective and manageable. This ten session course provides a framework for such conversations. Suggestions for discussion arise from what carers have written about the experience, from reflection on some things Jesus said and did, and from the ideas of thinkers and writers from different epochs. Sessions cover topics such as looking after yourself, listening, getting support, and anger. This book is best used in a group set up specifically to study it. But the material also provides a rich resource for individual reflection on how to care better.
