Recognizing and Responding to Trauma Part 2 (Protecting Children in Missions, Ministries, and Churches)
- Breakout Session
- MG Meeting Rooms Gateway Ballroom B
- November 22 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
This session is a continuation of Recognizing and Responding to Trauma Part 1, but can stand on its own! Children who have already experienced trauma are at high risk to be traumatized again. Providing a caring and safe environment for a trauma survivor is critical in walking alongside them in healing and supporting their safety in the future. Often, recognizing the signs of trauma can be difficult. Working closely with children with past trauma can be even more challenging. This session will equip attendees to recognize the signs of trauma and respond with the best possible types of support. It will also provide a view into how trauma impacts the brain, the body, and, often, a person’s behavior and worldview. Churches, ministries, and missions strive to be a safe place for everyone, and understanding trauma is an essential part of achieving that goal!
