BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Are there any past or present issues (spiritual, physical, emotional/mental, social), which would hinder your ability to work appropriately within the care ministry?
Do you have any physical limitations that will prevent you from performing certain types of activities relating to care ministry work?
Have you ever been accused, charged or convicted of a criminal offense (felony or misdemeanor other than a parking violation)?
Have you struggled in the past or are you currently struggling with any addictions (alcohol, drug, pornography, etc.)?
Have you ever received treatment for any emotional or psychiatric problems?
Is there anything in your past that may come up in the future that could harm the ministry at Blackhawk?
If yes, please explain.
Blackhawk completes background checks upon the start of service, and then every three years for continued service. In the time between background checks, I understand that I am required to self-report any misdemeanor charges/convictions, felony charges/convictions or alcohol- or drug-related citations I receive during the season I am in service to Blackhawk.
An interview will be scheduled with One to One Care applicants.

Note: Many Caregivers have been made stronger in their care-giving ministry through the care they themselves have received, including care from mental health professionals. Your One to One Care Leaders affirm the work of mental health professionals, who have helped many individuals to experience growth and healing. Members of the One to One Leadership Team request this information because they want to be as fully informed as possible about their One to One Caregivers.
