I reached out to this group... I would be interested in how their training might be able to help our young church become trauma-responsive and truly support our single mothers and kids without dads. (I realize there are other scenarios where families need support, but I'm up to my ears with this specific scenario -- both literally and figuratively 😇)
It takes way more (and different things) than most church folks imagine to meet the true needs of these desperate families -- and a very different understanding of what they truly need to make it out of survival-mode and into thriving. Even more important and difficult is understanding how faulty church doctrine has not only been a significant source of the original trauma, but how it actually actively interferes with true and lasting healing and the development of healthy growth -- physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
Thanks for all the ways you encourage us in the process.
In my initial conversations with James, we discussed how churches are often not aware or if they are, they don't know where to begin to become trauma-responsive. I hope this resource helps you on your journey!
