This past week workshops were held over the course of two days for staff at the Home for At Risk Children.
Workshops topics included the effects of trauma, recognizing the signs of childhood trauma and ways to treat it, burn out in care workers and ways to combat it, and more.
We were excited to have leaders for the workshops that included a trauma specialist and a psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Pierre from North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago.
The workshops were borne out of the belief that pouring into the careworkers and other professionals who serve is not just a good idea or a nice bonus but a necessity.
It was a special time of bonding, fellowship, worship, and education.
