This will be an interactive workshop engaging the minds of other concerned clergy, congregants, or anyone passionate to gain a better understanding about the very delicate balance of trauma, wellbeing and healing in the faith community. We will address common myths and stereotypes associated with church and spiritual hurt, as well as church and spiritual healing.

The webinar introduces approaches for measuring recovery outcomes, individual flourishing, and community impact through data collection and evaluation practices grounded in lived experience.
