PALS Study Topics — ‘Knowing Whom to Refer and When to Report’

Dr. Bev Yahnke

Module: Pastoral Care

Dr. Yahnke helps pastors identify the circumstances that merit referral or mandatory reporting to outside professional authorities. Through video, written materials, and group discussion, participants will craft the essential language needed to set the scene for a referral, discuss the dissonance that exists between mandatory reporting and the confidentiality of the confessional, determine when a referral is warranted, and examine the wide array of matters that invite a referral response.
