Shepherding Those Facing Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can go on unseen for a long time. How can we walk alongside those who suffer in a way that brings lasting hope?
Watch/Listen on:
There are probably more people in our churches who suffer domestic abuse than we realise. It can go unseen for long periods of time and leave much brokenness in its wake. However, we often find it hard to know how to support people wisely and well.
In this seminar, Biblical Counselling UK’s Director of Training and Resources Helen Thorne-Allenson helps leaders identify and walk alongside sufferers pastorally, in ways that bring true and lasting hope.
Plus, there were common questions answered about the nuances of support - including thinking through how churches can work well with services offering specialist provision.
The seminar was hosted by Elinor Magowan, one of FIEC's Directors for Women's Ministry.
This seminar is from the 2024 FIEC Leaders' Conference held in Blackpool from 4-6 November 2024.
