Trauma: Caring for Survivors

When we see great suffering, we want to provide hope and help—to make a sufferer's pain go away . . . and the suffering of those who have experienced trauma can be extreme and overwhelming. Yet it is also complex; so anyone treating its vast impacts needs to offer care that is both comprehensive and intentional.

Darby Strickland helps counselors and helpers to understand trauma, and the ways it affects sufferers, so they can offer compassion and comfort that is both trauma informed and biblical. She also uses Psalm 121 to show them how to go further and become trustworthy guides for those on the perilous journey of recovering from trauma—by emulating our good and ultimate guide. Learn and prepare for how you can restore a sufferer to flourish in their love for God and others . . . and how you can trust him for the results.
