A Six Week Course in Trauma-Informed Ministry, offered by Neighborhood Seminary
Registration opens July 1, 2021.
How do we truly love God and our neighbor as ourselves, when so many of us bear trauma?
This six week introduction to trauma-informed ministry helps participants understand the nature and some common consequences of trauma, so as to be able to offer an empathetic and compassionate ministry of presence with neighbors and neighborhoods experiencing trauma.
This course, taught by Elaine Heath and Jeanine Heath-McGlinn--a theologian and a therapist—is based on six themes in their 2021 memoir, Loving the Hell Out of Ourselv
es (and Others). Topics include:
Ditching the labels

Asking a new set of questions
