Interfaith outreach to the wider community in the wake of a shared trauma expands a church’s healing ministry. Join us for a look at how a local town came together to offer a trauma-informed response after a tragedy and how one church participated. An introduction to trauma-Informed practices and the Wellness Sciences that support growth in the face of adversity will frame the discussion.
