Leading Trauma-Informed Ministries: Protecting the Vulnerable

How do we protect the most vulnerable in our children’s ministries? And how do we come alongside our children and volunteers (teens and adults) in the ways they most need it?

Regardless of your age, doing life in this world is hard. Doing life as a follower of Jesus is even harder! Doing life as a follower of Jesus while serving others might just be the hardest of all—especially when trauma may have impacted us and many of the kids we’re working with.

So, in the middle of the already hard, how can we come alongside our children, families, and volunteers to create safe ministry spaces where physical and emotional security are not only valued but intentionally protected? And how can we begin to recognize warning signs that we may need to adjust or pivot our ministry plans for the day?

Join this webinar with Melissa J. MacDonald and get practical ideas for creating safe spaces in your ministry as you help children, families, and volunteers lean on Jesus through it all.
