Pastoral Care for Trauma Survivors





As war veteran ministers, we have a survivor mission: to turn our experience of war into something that benefits others. We call this survivor mission our Pastoral Care for Trauma Survivors emphasis. It has been a core part of our outreach from our founding in 1989. Pastoral Care for Trauma Survivors consists of as many different ways to use this experience as we can develop. We have a special feeling for trauma survivors who are combat veterans, with or without PTSD, but we recognize that trauma in our society goes far beyond combat trauma. Survivors of all kinds of trauma are members of our congregations, and our own trauma experience can be of crucial help to them. Below are listed several expressions of our Pastoral Care for Trauma Survivors emphasis:
