Issues that Impact Organizational Care
Communication Issues
Founded on trust, characterized by truth, and built through nurture. Dodds (v2) p99
"out of the heart the mouth speaks" Matt. 12:34,35) Our speech reveals the attitudes and habits of the heart. Dodds (v2) p102. This is SO true!
Manipulation or have hidden agendas will not help with relationship building and people will not trust you. Dodds (v2) p102). Nobody wants to be maniputlated!
12 Habits for nurturing communications Dodds (v2) p103) Non-verbal is very important to make sure you are communicating clearly that way as well.
Hold the assumptions...we don't need to try to make-meaning or sense of what we see. Seek SUGAR (p.106)
Skills: Dodds (v2) p107-119
Use "I" Statements, active listening, feedback skills, wise words, immediacy, appropriate assertiveness, conflict skills. I've gotten better at my feedback skills through counseling courses.
Conflict: need to know and understand honor and shame within cultures. Asian tend to be more shame driven and really need to be aware of that.
Generational differences on a team or within a region. Gardner

When to leave the field?
Needs to be an evaluation of the person and the situation. Dodds (v3) pa177-178 has some good protocols to follow to help in making that decision.
Powell book also had a good process of 5 areas that can be evaluated to determine if the person needs to leave the field or not. It is good that a team of people work together on this process and that confidentiality is top priority. (p353-361)
Voluntary Leaving not not mean failure, though it is protrayed as that so often. Dodds (v3) p.190
Moral Failure Ch8 in Dodds (v3) - any type is an indication of deeper emotional and relational issues. (p217)
MCF is most appropriate person to intervene. Can help them with resources, but if the moral failure violates the organization, then the MCF can accompany the person to confess - be their support person, or help them find someone to be that support person as they may need to return "home" and get further help.
Interventions
4 levels by Dodds (v3) p178-181)
Level 1-2 can been dealt with and reversed, but level 3&4 needs others involved to be apart of the process. Level 4 requires the greatest investment of resources for the agency (p.181)
Debriefing: what it is and how it can be done properly Dodds (v3) p. 181-189.
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) different than regular debriefing. Dodds (v3) p 189-190).
Gardner video: need to know how to do debriefings, CISD very important and useful as
well.
No path is certain to why, but "what becomes a serious problem usually begins with a felt need, followed by discouragement and belief that that need will never be met, following by proximity to temptation (p223) Dodds (v3)
Faith DeLaCour video: try to help on field sometimes, zoom calls will help, finding regional counseling centers to help... look at various resources that can be used on the field before bringing them back to passport
country.
Resilience... we can help people as we coach them through hard situations. Other good stuff from Gardner
video
Resilience plans/Care plans - needed to be trained to do them; very helpful in preventative care. Faith DeLa Cour
video
Risk and Security training also important; proactive self-care is helpful for workers. Faith De La Cour

Diversity Care
Family: need to look at everyone in the family and not just the one who is doing the "work". Need to make sure that family needs are being taken care of. Dodds (v3)p.196-201
TCKs - so much written on this that is more current than this book writes, but good that they mention because it is very important for sure.
Moms with young children. They feel trapped and socially isolated. Having a small active role in the org can be helpful. I found this to be true when the kids were young.
Couples and Marriage Care - workshops and/or retreats to help couples enrich their marriage.
Single Parents: they need aunts/uncles around to help with child care + friendships and help around the house.
Work from home - need boundaries and self-care
Leaders - because they are leading they may be limited in friendships and need support as well. Again, I found this to be true with Uwe was principal at the different schools for the both of us. So, while they only mention leaders, I believe the trailing spouse may also need care in a different way as well.
Singles - a good portion of this chapter is given to this and it is quite good to be reminded of what all their needs could be. Community can be very helpful, but also leadership being mindful that they are capable and qualified to do leadership roles as well.
Retiring workers - they need help in transitioning away from what they have done for years, but also where they have lived. It is good to start that transition before they leave the field.
Changes: Gardner
video
Ethos of mission; shorter terms(4.4avg); recruits from dysfunctional or nonChristian homes; care is expected; leadership; mission strategies; authority of Scripture is lessoning; multicultural teams; social media and global surveillance; finances harder to raise; increase of wounded recruits and gender confusion; BAM; "knowledge light and theology is missing in training".
