Summary 

Christian trauma survivors often receive conflicting messages about how to heal. The Church tells them one thing, while their licensed mental health professionals tell them another. There is a need like never before to help Christian clients both: a) heal from trauma, and b) integrate trauma-informed perspectives with their Christian faith. This Webinar addresses the following critical questions: How do we help our clients heal holistically—mind, body, and soul? How do we equip clients to navigate their faith communities as they heal? And, what is the licensed mental health professional’s role in educating Christian clients about the impact of trauma on faith? In this presentation, Dr. Cook will discuss how licensed mental health professionals have a unique opportunity to help move their Christian clients beyond self-care and into more holistic healing with faith as a component.
