Educate and Prepare – A Multimedia Resource for Faith Leaders
Healing the Healers is a multimedia video resource collection showcasing intimate peer-to-peer conversations with exceptional faith leaders on issues of crisis and trauma to be used in classroom curriculums, as congregational tools and for self learning. Each video and accompanying expert guide offers strategies and insight to educate and prepare current and emerging faith leaders in how to address challenging issues in order to:
- Recover from communal trauma
- End domestic violence
- Heal divided communities experiencing extremism and racial injustice
- Save lives for Youth Mental Health
- Address pandemic burnout for chaplains
When trauma or crisis strikes, faith leaders are called upon to guide and sustain communities. Their role is to help us heal.
“This is an exceptional resource for caregivers, faith communities, and theological education, and is long overdue. It provides deep insight into the pain incurred by faith leaders as they endeavor to care for the broken and wounded.”
– Calvin Theological Seminary Dr. Danjuma Gibson, Associate Professor of Pastoral Care
“We faith leaders must face these mental health concerns directly and honestly in order to help stop deaths by suicide, to provide appropriate pastoral care to those who experience a mental health crisis, and to support families who need encouragement, a listening ear, and clear direction to find best practices in mental health services in the church and community.”
– Rev. Dr. Scott, Weimer, Pastor Emeritus, North Avenue Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, Georgia and Executive Director, JLW Foundation
