Religious Trauma Workshop

Held on Saturday, March 8, 2025

9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Trees:  1701 Pleasant Green Rd., Durham, NC 27705

​

Led by Justis Mitchell, MDiv/MSW Intern​

In this workshop, participants learned more about the specific realities of religious trauma. This workshop aimed to be an introduction to the concept of religious trauma, its particularities in comparison to other forms of trauma, and offering different therapeutic ways of processing it. This workshop gave participants the opportunity to ask questions, become more trauma-informed in their work/ministry/life, and bring awareness to the tangible ways religious trauma is present. Utilizing both a theological and clinical framework, this workshop analyzed the intersectional ways that religious trauma continues to affect those in our midst, and what we can do to be more present with those around us who have religious trauma.
