Understanding the Scope of Perspectives for Ministry in MAiD

Continuing Education - for individuals or small groups

Using professionally developed video content, Dr. Gloria Woodland will present a basic understanding of End-of-Life Care and Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Participants will increase their awareness of patient, family, and healthcare worker perspectives and build skills for coming alongside pastorally. The understanding of Scripture, theology, and denominational positions on MAiD will be considered as one develops a pastoral position for response. Of particular interest to denominational leaders and those who counsel pastoral care-givers will be the lessons on Postvention Care and the information on how to support ministering individuals impacted by another’s decision for MAiD.

The small group format of eight weeks includes the online videos, a printable learning and resource guide, and a one-time consultation with Dr. Gloria Woodland.

This online study is available for a one-time fee of $475 for up to 12 participants. Your small group, church, or facility will receive access to the online portal where all the materials for this self-directed eight-week study are housed.
