Religious & Spiritual Trauma Workshop
Churches can be profound places of belonging, hope and healing. Yet people can also experience significant harm within religious and spiritual contexts.
How can pastors and ministry leaders recognise when this has occurred - and respond in ways that are safe, wise and restorative?
Join Anu Matara, Clinical Counsellor and Author, and Steve Poisat, Pastor and Executive Minister of Churches of Christ WA, for a practical and reflective morning exploring religious and spiritual trauma and abuse.
Bringing together counselling, pastoral and theological perspectives, this workshop will help ministry leaders better understand spiritual trauma, respond wisely to those who have experienced harm, and help create healthier church communities that support healing and restoration.
