Saturday, October 12th, 9:00 a.m.~1:00 p.m.
All Saints Church
With the knowledge of the higher incidence of trauma and violence experienced by all people and communities on the margins of power, and with the continued escalation of gun violence and overt expressions of white supremacy in our nation and world, the interface between healing, and peace and justice
are increasingly clear. Join clinical psychologists
Dr. Brinell Anderson and Rev. Dr. Sally Howard for introductory training on trauma-informed community-based care, October 12, from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., at All Saints Church.
This four-hour training is open to the public and will provide an overview of trauma – identifying different types of trauma and exploring the whole person impact of trauma across race, culture, gender, and sexuality. It will also explore healing on a personal and collective level; the development of resiliency in response to trauma; and identifying ways the All Saints Community can address different types of trauma within and beyond the walls of the church. The workshop will be provided in English and Spanish. All are welcome. Fees range from $10-$50, depending on ability to pay. Please pay according to your ability. Scholarships are available.
