• Trauma and Spirituality
  At its core, trauma is a spiritual issue asking survivors to assess their system of meaning and purpose in life. Trauma can alter systems of meaning and challenge survivors to find meaning in some of life’s most horrible experiences. This presentation will help you guide survivors in their effort. We address ethical challenges, dilemmas for helpers, and methods for allowing a spiritual discussion in treatment setting. 
  


• Risking Connection in Faith Communities
  Learn about the nature of psychological trauma, how it affects people, and how faith leaders can help. Because this presentation is addressed to spiritual and lay religious leaders, particular attention is paid to the spiritual impact of trauma. We focus on the need for growth-promoting relationships; explore the connection between trauma and spiritual distress; recognize the value of spirituality in recovery; address the impact of trauma on the helper; and looks at how faith communities can promote healing.
