This four-week workshop equips participants with a framework to assess and evaluate where they currently find themselves in pastoral practice – and determine what is needed to address the ongoing traumatic waves that impact pandemic-ridden congregations.   

Specific attention will be given to understanding the complex nature of family systems and how they impact an individual, a family unit, and the larger congregational community.   

Participants will leave these sessions empowered to respond with deepening holistic healing strategies that are trauma-informed and trauma-oriented. 

Facilitated by Dr Julie Clayton. Hosted by LeaderShift Director, Allison Rennie
