PCRT will provide the Chaplain Corps with increased capacity to intervene and employ spirituality as a sustainable best practice to assist Airmen impacted with sexual assault and trauma. PCRT will provide a stand-alone, individually-focused pastoral care intervention tool-kit that can be applied in any workplace environment across the Air Force. A regionally accredited University department of pastoral counseling will create and administer a 5 day residential training for USAF Chaplain Corps Personnel. The same regionally accredited University department of pastoral counseling will develop a web based ancillary training based upon the same residential curriculum and course of instruction using the Advanced Distance Learning (ADLS) and Blackboard platforms. The regionally accredited University department of pastoral counseling will offer 38 to 40 certified continuing education units (CEUs) for the 5 day residential course participants upon completion. The highly interactive web based training should be developed in 6 to 10 months and be able to take participants 1 hour to complete. An evaluation tool will be embedded in the training allowing participants to demonstrate understanding and comprehension of the training objectives through testing. Upon passing the test with at least 75% out of 100%, participants will be awarded a printable automated certificate of completion following the 1 hour of training and testing.
