About this ebook

Children’s pastors, youth pastors, and volunteers play an essential role in churches and faith-based organizations. However, many people enter paid or volunteer ministry with limited professional training on how to work specifically with challenging children and teens, which can lead to ineffectiveness, disillusionment, and burnout. Well Equipped, written by an experienced teacher and counselor, provides practical training and advice for workers in the church on the subjects of learning and development, lesson planning, classroom management, and working with a wide variety of special needs populations. Specific focus areas include autism, ADHD, language, culture, refugees, third-culture kids, poverty, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Well Equipped is filled with helpful information, guidance, and examples to equip pastors and volunteers to better connect with students as they grow in their faith.
