Becoming a Trauma Informed Church

If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the butt, he’ll help you catch your breath. Psalm 34:18 The Message The majority of people in our churches have experienced pain, and the people tasked with caring for them do not always have the necessary tools. Too often, this leads to unintended re-traumatization, and before long the church is seen as an unsafe place for the hurting, precisely the people who need us most. If the Church is to properly care for the hurting, it is important that we understand the impact of trauma and imitate the way God cares for the wounded. Becoming a trauma-informed church will enable us to help without hurting.
