02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The basic approach of the charity is one-to-one pastoral care. There are six practical elements to our pastoral care. • We emphasize the importance of befriending. The key concept here is establishing a rapport with the person by actively listening, & establishing a “working relationship” that develops mutual respect and trust. • Initial pastoral care aims at helping the person answer the question, “Do I have a problem with drink or drugs?” Subsequent pastoral care involves establishing an holistic view of the person’s physical, emotional, rational, volitional and moral / spiritual condition. • Pastoral care also involves helping the person develop their own motivation to change. • We help people make the necessary plans to actually stop drinking or using illicit drugs. • Our approach includes addressing any underlying rational, emotional or behavioural patterns that may underpin continued drinking. • Pastoral care also involves building a Christian lifestyle that maintains change
