SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Webinar - Deciphering Personality Disorders in the Church and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:There are always one or two people in your congregation who know exactly how to push your buttons\, alienate others and make even the most innocuous meeting agenda go suddenly awry.  Learn about the personality disorders that are often behind people’s bad behavior and how you can become more effective in dealing with them. While we will be addressing clinical material\, the emphasis is not on diagnosis but on recognizing patterns of behavior and understanding the motivation behind them.  Through understanding\, you can begin to take your encounters with such people less personally.  This restores balance to your interactions and enables you to set healthy boundaries that protect you from hurtful behavior. \nThis event will take place over Zoom on Tuesday\, August 15th from 1-4pm. Please go to this link to register. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the five personality disorders most likely to be present in your congregations and understand the origins of these disorders.\nLearn the basic principles of assertiveness and how to utilize them in your church.\nDevelop an awareness of the personalities to which you are most vulnerable based on your personal history.\nLearn to implement appropriate boundaries that allow for healthy self-care without taking away from your family or your congregation.

SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Seminar - Stress and Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Are you feeling stressed out\, discouraged\, and in need of ideas on building coping strategies? The stress of clergy life is all too familiar\, and this past year with coronavirus changing everything about how we do ministry has made it worse than ever. In this workshop\, we will explore the common sources of stress and how it can lead to feelings of depression and potentially burnout unless we adopt better coping mechanisms. These coping mechanisms are the central building blocks of developing resiliency over the long haul. \nThis seminar will be presented by Denise McGuiness via Zoom. To register\, please click here.
