Pastoral care

Pastoral care is when someone takes care of other people's feelings and needs, especially when they are going through a tough time. It's like having a friend who is a grown-up and can help you feel better when you're feeling sad, angry, or scared. Pastoral care can happen in many different places, like at school, in church, or even at a hospital. It's important because it helps people feel less alone and gives them hope that things will get better.
