SUMMARY:Virtual Training Institute: Walking with the Wounded\, Caring for Those Impacted by Trauma
DESCRIPTION:About this Virtual Event:\nThe Virtual Training Institute is a resource of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). These free webinars are part of an ongoing series designed to provide valuable continuing education on topics related to Abuse Prevention and Response. The goal is to strengthen the safeguarding efforts of ministries to protect the vulnerable. Each session features instruction from an industry expert and a live Q&A session with the presenter. All ministry leaders are invited to join the conversation on these important topics\, informed by real issues ministry leaders face today. \nOverview of this Course: \nTrauma is one of the most pressing issues of our day\, touching lives in both obvious and hidden ways. Yet many of us feel unprepared to respond with both wisdom and compassion. What exactly is trauma? And how can we\, as Christians\, offer care that is biblically faithful and truly empathetic? \nCounselor and author Eliza Huie will share insights from her book Trauma Aware: A Christian’s Guide to Help and Care. Written to equip pastors\, ministry leaders\, and everyday helpers\, this resource blends biblical foundations with clinical understanding to help the church better recognize and respond to trauma. Trauma can cloud the mind\, weigh down the body\, and entangle the soul. In the face of such struggles\, Eliza offers both clarity and encouragement—helping us demystify trauma and showing us how to walk alongside others with the hope of Christ. \nWho’s Invited?\nAny ministry leader who is seeking to learn more about child safety or trauma care. \nDate/Time:\nApril 16\, 2-3:30 p.m. EST \nLocation:\nOnline (Access webinar link by registering) \nPresenter:\nEliza Huie\, Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church in Vienna\, Virginia. \nEliza Huie is a licensed clinical professional counselor and serves as the Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church in Vienna\, Virginia. She holds certifications in biblical counseling from The Christian Counseling Educational Foundation (CCEF) and The Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC). She is also the author of several books including Raising Kids Emotionally Healthy Kids\, Teens and Anxiety: Help for Parents\, The Whole Life\, 52-Weeks of Biblical Self-care\, Count Yourself Calm\, I’m Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace\, Raising Kids in a Screen-Saturated World\, and other titles. \nCost:\nFree! \nRegister:\nClick here to register.
