Julie Valentine Center Presentation - Spiritual Impact of Trauma & Trauma Informed Pastoral Care
Roughly twenty percent of any given congregation is comprised of direct impact survivors of childhood sexual assault, and roughly sixty-seven percent of a congregation is comprised of secondary impact survivors: spouses of, adult children of, parents of, siblings of survivors. Those are the numbers before we add survivors of other iterations of abuse. At the same time, our state is fifth most religious in the nation according to Pew research. Because we are whole people, we must attend to the spiritual impact of those seeking help for their trauma. Participants will learn theoretical frameworks for how trauma impacts one's spirituality followed by practical examples of what is helpful and unhelpful in ministering to survivors.
