Trauma-informed Church in Pandemic Recovery

These past few years have been very strenuous for our whole community. With issues on top of the pandemic such as police violence, the threat of war, and other collective traumatic experiences, the need to not only understand how trauma affects an individual’s spirit but how to walk alongside those who are experiencing the responses to trauma is crucial in today’s age. The term ‘Trauma Informed Ministry’ is becoming more commonplace for congregations. Utilizing the work from the field of Trauma Informed Care, this webinar will:

• Familiarize participants with the language of being trauma-informed
• Provide principles on how to help with trauma responses without retraumatizing individuals
• Explore spiritual practices that help to center oneself in traumatic experiences.
• Form communities of care that are trauma-informed
