Join us for a webinar breaking open the role of youth ministry leaders in understanding and responding to trauma. This informative session will equip youth leaders with a clear definition of trauma and practical approaches to help young people navigate difficult times. The webinar will also introduce attendees to Wholehearted, a workbook created by Catholic Charities USA. Wholehearted is designed to support young adults in learning about and coping with trauma in various settings, including small groups, with a mental health professional, or on their own. Join us and gain valuable knowledge to help support the young people in your life!
