When Faith Hurts: Effective MDT Responses to the Spiritual Impact of Child Abuse
Course Description
Many maltreated children are spiritually impacted by abuse and require a coordination of medical, mental health, and spiritual care. This slightly shortened presentation suitable as a keynote examines this research and explores creative reforms for bringing faith and child protection communities together to protect children and address their needs.
