October 15 / 10AM - 12PM
Harpeth Hills Church of Christ
What Every Church Leader Needs To Know About Sexual Trauma
Be it a one-time occurrence or a series of encounters that occurred for years, hurtful sexual experiences are traumatic. Typically, victims feel isolated and don’t know what to do. Family and friends often are unaware of the trauma. And time does not heal wounds.
Become aware of the dynamics that result from sexual trauma. Learn to recognize signs that someone has been hurt, and how to respond with grace and compassion.
