Spiritual Abuse and the Importance of the Spiritual Community in the Survivor’s Life

Survivors of faith frequently seek help in their faith communities when experiencing domestic violence. Yet, they are often met with a wall of silence and shame. In this conversation, you will learn to recognize spiritual abuse and understand why spirituality and spiritual communities play a significant role in the life of a survivor. Practical strategies for advocates and helping professionals will be discussed.
