- Short Description:
- Individuals experiencing abuse often first disclose to informal support networks, including faith leaders. However, faith leaders and religious communities often have little training on how to respond to abuse and are unprepared for these conversations. This presentation will review research statistics on clergy response and then discuss ways to engage with faith leaders, encourage them to create safer faith communities, and collaborate for the benefit of victims and survivors. We will discuss cultivating and nurturing connections with faith communities, the ethical integration of faith and practice, how to approach the topic of domestic violence policy in congregations, and how survivor spirituality can help empower healing and hope.
