Ministry in the Trenches: Trauma-Informed Ministry in Urban Oakland
Patten University 2433 Coolidge Avenue, Oakland, CA, United StatesAs pastors and community leaders, what do we do when trauma just looks like our lives? Many groups across the country are pushing for trauma-informed ministry: serving from a perspective that acknowledges the impact of trauma. However, not all traumas and contexts are equal. This one-day workshop is designed to equip and empower local Christian leaders in Oakland and the greater Bay Area to serve communities impacted by repeated, systemic trauma (including community violence and the results of systemic inequality). Attendees will learn to understand, recognize, and respond to trauma. In continuation of the emphasis on equipping and empowerment, this workshop will be followed by opportunities and additional resources to further develop trauma knowledge as well as develop local connections with other leaders and appropriate public services. A light continental breakfast and lunch will be provided for attendees. FREE, Registration Required | http://bit.ly/2oJUqnO

It's FREE, but we need you to register! We face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity - where, without impunity, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother's backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him. Will we stand on the sideline or will we join the important struggle that Black Americans & many others daily endure to live free from racism, violence & terror? We believe we are called to lean into a ministry and theology of resistance, reclaiming the hope and power inherent in our prophetic faiths, giving us courage and healing for the days ahead.
