Telecare: Helping Churches with Community Care
Church Leaders - Here are some ways that Telecare is here to serve you and your church:
- Serving Hurting People: You may refer anyone to our call line for emotional and spiritual support. Our trained empathetic volunteers help you shoulder the load of community care. The support line number is: 604-852-9099. You may place this number in your bulletin or newsletter if you wish.
- Offering Resources for Pastors and Leaders: Our website has thoughtful posts on community care, and we offer a half-day active listening online workshop Listen Up!
- Speaking in Your Church: We are prepared to provide short (5-10 minute) talks, preach (25-30 minutes), or bring Listen Up!(3-6 hour versions) to your door. We can also send a 30-60 second info video to show your people. If interested, please contact me (Bill).
- Providing a Place to Serve: We welcome people from your church to join us in serving others. Retirees make especially good volunteers, yet we need younger and middle-aged listeners as well. Everyone receives training about listening and mental health in order to empathize with callers. Volunteers may work behind the scene too if they find a better fit there.
If you have additional ideas as to how we might assist you in ministry, or would like to follow up on anything noted above, please contact us here on our website.
Thank you for your time to read this. We hope you might discuss it with your pastoral team. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Bill Strom, Ph.D.
Executive Director
