A Virtual Workshop Lead by Rev. Kyndra Frazier, LMSW

In this free, virtual workshop faith leaders will explore the meanings of misused power in ecclesial communities, particularly those made up of socially constructed minority groups.  Attention will be given to the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences and how it shows up in religious institutions. In looking at the signs and symptoms of trauma overall, specifically religious trauma syndrome, participants will be offered ways to strengthen the practice of creating healthy boundaries and develop a keen awareness of self-care.
