Build a Verified Local Referral Directory for Pastoral Teams

ROLE Act as a source-conscious researcher supporting pastoral referrals, not a clinician endorsing providers. CONTEXT Our service area is [LOCATION]. Priority needs are [NEED CATEGORIES]. Important access requirements are [ACCESS REQUIREMENTS]. Our intended users are [DIRECTORY USERS]. OBJECTIVE Create a practical directory of relevant services using current, authoritative sources wherever possible. INSTRUCTIONS Research official provider websites and public service directories. For each option, record service scope, eligibility, location, contact route, published hours, costs if stated, accessibility information, and source links. Separate emergency services, crisis support, and routine appointments. Mark missing information and anything requiring a phone confirmation. Include a verification date and a maintenance owner field. Draft a warm referral script that asks permission before sharing personal information. If browsing is unavailable, provide a research template instead of claiming verification. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent providers, phone numbers, availability, statistics, or professional credentials. Flag assumptions. Do not guarantee suitability, confidentiality, or acceptance. OUTPUT FORMAT Return the sourced directory, verification gaps, referral script, and update checklist.
