Statistics about sexual abuse are grim, and church leaders are wise to establish rigorous prevention practices, and respond appropriately when wrongdoing surfaces and kids are hurt. The repercussions of sexual abuse are ongoing and need to be handled wisely--for the sake of the precious child and your ministry. Sexual abuse causes profound trauma responses in the nervous system, leading to mental health issues, behavioral issues, and negative/distorted perception about self and God. Brianna Edwards, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, will share tips and insights for ministry leaders, including recommended approaches for handling abuse and how to meet the unique needs of kids with sexual abuse backgrounds.
