From the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care:

Newest Book in the Risking Connection® Series Helps Religious Leaders Minister to Those Suffering from Trauma

A new book now offers clergy and lay leaders of all faiths help in ministering to the special needs of those suffering from traumatic experiences. Risking Connection in Faith Communities: A Training Curriculum for Faith Leaders Supporting Trauma Survivors focuses on the healing role that religious leaders can play in the lives of the trauma survivors in their congregations by offering a trauma-informed approach.

Using the same training framework developed for its trauma-informed Risking Connection® training series, the Sidran Institute's latest publication takes a less clinical approach and pays more attention to the spiritual impact of trauma. The training program will help clergy understand the nature of psychological trauma, how it affects people, and how faith leaders can help by integrating trauma-informed practices.

Religious leaders and their organizations are often at the front-line with survivors and families, providing a place of regular connection where support, discussion, understanding, and healing can be explored. The goal is not to turn clergy and faith-based helpers into therapists, but to better equip them as a crucial resource in their community for the support and healing of trauma survivors. The curriculum provides a path for implementing trauma-informed care, specific to the culture of faith communities.

In addition to explaining the effects of trauma and concentrating on the need for growth-promoting relationships, the curriculum:

  • Explores the connection between trauma and spiritual distress
  • Recognizes the value of spirituality in recovery
  • Addresses the impact of trauma on the spiritual helper
  • Examines how faith communities can promote healing

Although it focuses on support for survivors of interpersonal trauma, it also speaks to the issues related to care in the wake of any type of trauma, natural or man-made.

The course can be used by an individual or as part of a workshop or continuing pastoral education. This curriculum is intended to be useful to faith leaders of the major religions and denominations in the United States, so the authors have attempted to ensure that all theological perspectives are confined to illustrative use in sidebar examples.

Risking Connection in Faith Communities is available from Amazon or directly from the Sidran Institute (code RCFA) for a discount if ordered online. On-site training is available.
