Content Cast: Responding in a Trauma-Informed Way to Challenging Circumstances

This video addresses how faith leaders can respond to complicated ministry/pastoral care situations in trauma-informed ways in an effort to not cause additional negative religious experiences for individuals.

Trauma Training Takeaway: This video emphasis that the foundation of trauma-informed ministry is communication. This often means that we are engaged in hard discussions which means that we need to be equipped in how to respond, not react, to each situation uniquely. This video is not meant to replace legal advice, the formation of safety policies for your faith faith community, but rather to give you things to consider as you are both proactive in preparing for and addressing challenging circumstances.
