Safe Discussion & Conversation Agreements

Written by Christie Love

Being able to create a safe space for conversation and discussions is crucial to creating healthy faith communities and connecting spaces. Using these conversation agreements can give common language to everyone that gathers around tables for conversations.

Trauma Training Takeaway: Individuals with a trauma background often avoid places and spaces where there is potential for arguments, disagreements, and tension because they can trigger feelings of anxiety of unpredictability. Using conversation agreements can help everyone feel safe to open up and to share their thoughts and can help those with trauma feel more comfortable to engage with discussions.
