Every Sunday, Men and Women scarred by crises and betrayals worship among us. Our Lord not only calls us to help them but equips us to do so. Out of her careful study of Scripture and years of counselling experience, Darby Strickland has written a comprehensive resource to help counselors, church leaders, and laypeople understand the unique wounds of trauma-and then to come alongside sufferers with effective, thoughtful care that shows the love of Christ.
When It’s Trauma – A day seminar with Darby Strickland.
Darby is a respected counselor, author, and faculty member with the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). Her work has equipped countless churches to recognise and respond wisely to trauma and domestic abuse within their congregations. This event will be a valuable opportunity for pastors, elders, ministry leaders, and pastoral carers to strengthen their understanding and sharpen their shepherding skills.
Why this event matters for church leaders:
Trauma is increasingly present in the lives of those we serve.
Many of us feel under‑resourced when complex situations arise.
Darby offers biblically grounded, practical frameworks that help churches care well.
You’ll gain tools to support survivors while also navigating the wider pastoral implications.
