Teaching Organisation Each semester is twelve weeks in length and is taught by distance education.

In this unit students are introduced to the discipline of Pastoral Care from a sociological perspective within a Christian tradition and in the residential education setting. Students are able to investigate practical aspects of pastoral care for the adolescent and young adult residents, including the complexities of their sexuality, relationships, feelings of self-worth and spiritual inquiry. Students are led to understand pastoral care as a growth and healing process within the individual and community of the residential institution. Students also become aware of the referral processes in place and the range of referral agencies which are appropriate.
