Trauma Awareness Workshop

On July 13-15, we held a 3-day workshop with 58 pastors and church leaders focusing on trauma awareness and the recovery process.

Dr. Jama Davis and Pastor Corinne Gunter walked the leaders through various topics, including an overview of trauma, the effects of trauma, the healing process, and discussed the necessary skills for counseling others.

We covered a lot of ground and created a foundation from which to build in the future. The group committed to studying the booklet we provided and meeting together to encourage one another. They even asked to be able to receive more in-depth training.

We are confident these leaders will take what they’ve learned and begin using it right away to encourage growth and healing in their churches and communities. They are also committed to sharing their learnings with others as they work to develop trauma response teams.

Here’s a short video where Dr. Jama shares more about this group and why this type of training is critical for individuals and communities to heal and flourish.
