Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Programme

Pastoral Care In the face of unprecedented pressures on health services around the world, CMF seeks to pursue the mission of uniting and equipping Christian health professionals to live and speak for Jesus.

We know that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be times of particular stress and tension. There will also be unique opportunities to share the love of Christ in word and deed. The CMF Pastoral Care and Wellbeing team are available daily for members to listen and pray when you need support with the challenges you are facing or to give encouragement for you to grow and flourish in Christ in your healthcare role.

We would invite members to e-mail us via the CMF website on the following link: Contact CMF. Please head your enquiry '#Wellbeing' and do leave contact numbers for a call back for prayer or conversation as necessary. Let us know what time would be best to call back. Alternatively, you may just log the issues you want the CMF team to pray for, and we will add them to our list of daily prayers, as we work together to serve health care workers and students at this time. As ever, there should be respect for all patient confidentiality in any messages left.

We aim to get back to enquirers as soon as possible but we are not a crisis service and there may be a short delay in our response.

If you are in touch with a hospital chaplaincy service or you know of local church pastoral teams who have healthcare workers to support, do let them know that we would love to hear from them too.

You may also be interested in the CMF Members Mentoring Scheme.

This is an opportunity to team up with another walking Christian doctor or nurse and walk with them, sharing experience and encouraging one another in our walk with Christ. To find out more, visit the CMF Members Mentoring Scheme page at cmf.li/Mentoring
