While most of us experience stress in everyday life, pastors very often suffer unconsciously from an occupation hazard called "compassion fatigue". Since we are not even aware of it, we are not able to prevent its effects on us such as reduced job performance, a lowered self-esteem, depression, and increased tension in other areas of our lives. The stress can also cause insomnia, irritability, emotional withdrawal and helplessness.
To address these concerns, we are privileged to have Dr Eric Scalise to help pastors cope with stress in ministry from a psychological and physiological perspective. Dr Scalise is one of the vice-presidents of the American Association of Christian Counselors and the Executive Director of their International Board of Certified Christian Counselors & Caregivers. He speaks regularly on mental health and leadership issues both on the homefront and overseas.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
Date: 26 Nov (Fri)
