What if missional discipleship was at the heart of our care for God’s beloved global workers? What could that make possible?

This workshop will unpack the results of that study and clarify next steps. Led by Geoff Whiteman. (View Speaker Interview) - Trauma Informed Staff Care
In our lives as global workers we both encounter trauma in those we serve and care for and in our own lives (both first hand and secondary traumas). For both the lay staff care provider and the professional counselor it is essential that we provide care from a trauma informed perspective. Knowing how trauma impacts the body, mind and soul allows each of us to provide more holistic care to those who are suffering. Led by James Covey.
