Pastoral Care and Wellbeing

Welcome to the Wellbeing pages. The diocesan provision to support ministerial and staff wellbeing includes a flexible range of support and resources which we hope will meet your individual needs at various times.

“Jesus came that we might have life and life in all its fullness. Those of us who are called to serve as ordained ministers know that sometimes the pressures of ministry diminish that sense of abundant life. Looking after our own wellbeing is a not a kind of sanctified selfishness – it is part of our ongoing discipleship and vocation. Our “being well” is a thing to be cherished, not least because, if we are thriving, then those with whom we minster will thrive too. As senior staff, we are committed to put place all we can to support you in your ministry.”

Some of the resources are designed to support you through more stressful, tough times, and some are designed to walk alongside you, offering strategic, reflective, and spiritual accompaniment.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.”  Matthew 11:28 (MSG)
