At times Urbanrevs/Community Chaplains need to refer people to find further help.
There will come times when we will need to personally provide individuals with referrals for issues such as gambling addictions, chemical addictions, anxiety disorders, intense relationship concerns, violence, abuse, PTSD, depression, financial distress and high perturbation suicide, as examples.
At other times we may also be able to assist our wider community with referral strategies.
In many cases, it is wise as chaplains to avoid personally providing these ‘Professional’ services. Rather, it’s at your advantage to refer them to specialists and continue to journey with the individual or group as the specialist pastoral carer.
We’ve provided some useful categories and links to help you get started – Community Chaplaincy Referrals.
