Certain beliefs and theologies within religious traditions can lead to mental and spiritual harm. This program is designed to develop an understanding of religious trauma and its causes. Learn to recognize the symptoms of religious trauma in yourself and others. Understand why religious trauma is underdiagnosed/misunderstood. The program will also explore the various avenues faith communities and leaders have for establishing safe and nurturing environments so that they can promote and encourage healing and growth within their own settings.
