Special Guest: Julia Matallana Freedman, Author of Sanctuary of Healing: Transforming Churches into Trauma-Informed Spaces, Recently Ordained in the Episcopal Tradition

Question of the Week: Churches can unfortunately be places where people have to “put on a face” and pretend like their lives are good and they do not have issues. How can churches and faith communities transform from that and become sanctuaries where people can heal from trauma? How do we create these spaces in ways that are intentional and welcoming?
