1-04 Trauma Informed Accompaniment

We have been called to accompany others. What might trauma informed accompaniment look like? Suppose we intentionally developed a trauma informed parish? This session offers a basic understanding of trauma and its impact on us, principles and practices which help restore, and some concrete resources for shaping a trauma informed parish.
