Description
Trauma and Pastoral Care: A Practical Handbook by Carla Grosch-Miller provides guidance for leaders navigating traumatic events and their aftermath. Drawing from the Tragedy and Congregations Project, this handbook offers practical tools and strategies for responding to trauma, both individually and collectively. The book is divided into three parts, each addressing a different aspect of trauma response: physical and mental impact, collective trauma, and recovery. Part One provides a rapid response toolkit and guidance on continuing care, while Part Two explores pastoral and liturgical strategies for building resilience. Part Three reflects on the changing story of life and faith in the face of trauma. This handbook is an essential resource for those seeking to support individuals or communities affected by traumatic events, offering a compassionate and informed approach to pastoral care.
