Certain beliefs and theologies within religious traditions can lead to mental and spiritual harm. This program is designed to develop an understanding of religious trauma and its causes. It will also explore the various avenues churches and pastors have for establishing safe and nurturing environments so that they can promote and encourage healing and growth within their own settings. Presented by Siri Strommen.
