Survivors of crime, abuse, combat, and disaster constitute just a few of the groups of people who may struggle with the emotional, physical, and spiritual consequences of trauma. Trauma has long lasting impact upon anatomy of the brain, core relationships, and issues of faith. This workshop will provide a basic understanding of the etiology of post-traumatic distress and associated previous disease or injuries. In addition, the workshop will explore practical tools and skills for healthcare providers, key theological insights regarding trauma and recovery, and helpful pastoral responses to support trauma survivors.
