TRAUMA-INFORMED MINISTRY

KRISTY MCLACHLAN
TreeHouse

What the heck is trauma and why is TikTok telling us everyone has it? *spoiler alert* not everyone has it, and giving teens a cheese pizza instead of a sausage & pepperoni pizza won't cause trauma.

How can we connect the science of trauma and our understanding of teen development to create meaningful and practical approaches for youth ministry? Join us for an engaging session filled with actionable strategies, hands-on demonstrations, and practical techniques designed to help you implement effective systems and structures to reimagine your youth ministry!
