We’re excited to announce that our 2020 keynote speaker will be Mary Demuth, author of “WeToo: How the Church can respond redemptively to the sexual abuse crisis.” Click here to learn more about her.
Abuse can happen anywhere, even in faith communities. You probably know someone who has suffered abuse. Pretending that abuse does not exist in “my church, school, community or home” only perpetuates its continuance. Learn what to do and how to help.

Creating safe churches and communities starts with being informed. Together, we can keep the people in your church, school, camp, and community safe.
This year’s topics include:
  • Abuse in Faith Communities – Mary DeMuth
  • Church Toolkit: Practical Tips & Resources for Safe Churches and Schools – Rene Drumm

Heightened partisanship has made many wary of political engagement. Others feel disenfranchised due to a lack of representation by their government leaders. But there are many reasons to celebrate our opportunities for political and civic engagement, the primary of which is it allows us to care for the needs of our fellow man. Join the NAD Public Affairs and Religious Liberty team as we highlight ways we can live out the Gospel Imperative by serving as responsible citizens of our country.

Moving from “What is Wrong with You?” to “What Happened to You?”  Creating an Environment of Support for Traumatized Individuals in Faith Based Organizations.

Date:  Thursday, October 22, 2020

Time:  7:00 – 8:30 pm, Eastern

Presenters:  Trauma Team from Andrews University International Center for Trauma Education & Care

In every community and population, there is trauma. It is an epidemic in the world today. New research is coming out every year testifying to the dramatic effects of trauma upon the brain and body. In order for nurses to provide adequate care in any given field, trauma-informed practice is a necessity. This means having an understanding of how trauma affects the individual, both in the present and long after the traumatic events have ceased.

This presentation will provide insight into these effects of trauma as well as present skills needed to address its far-reaching impact and better equip nurses to engage with their clientele. Supporting Faith Community Nurses, we will highlight intersections between faith and science, and a relevant approach for their specific practice field working with faith-based organizations.
