Do you have children or youth in your school, church, or ministry who come from hard places and struggle in ways that are difficult to understand? Today’s children are facing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma, and the effects are showing up in our classrooms, churches, and relationships every day. Childhood trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) continue to deeply impact the emotional, behavioral, spiritual, and academic well-being of children and youth in our communities. This workshop will explore how trauma affects learning, relationships, behavior, and development, while offering practical, faith-informed strategies to support healing, connection, and resilience. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of trauma-informed care and leave equipped with tools to foster safe, supportive environments where children and youth can thrive. Join us for an encouraging and insightful session designed for church leaders, ministry workers, and educators who desire to respond to today’s challenges with both compassion and hope.
