When mass trauma strikes, faith leaders are called upon to guide and sustain communities through the aftermath. Their role is to help us heal. But who heals the healers?
Healing the Healers is a new multimedia resource intended to support clergy, laity, social workers, first responders and other spiritual care providers facing community-level trauma. The series is accompanied by written reflections and discussion tools by scholars, clergy and other experts.
From the Co-Producers of the award-winning documentary Newtown, and led by Reverend Matthew Crebbin, Senior Minister of Newtown Congregational Church, this series will help prepare faith leaders and create a community of support. Reverend Crebbin begins this series of intimate, powerful conversations within Newtown and then widens the circle to include other faith leaders who’ve experienced mass trauma, either suddenly, as at Newtown or during 9/11, or through ministering to a community facing chronic violence, such as Hartford, CT, or Ferguson, MO.
