A Trauma-Informed Approach to Religious Trauma
The Religious Trauma Institute was co-founded by Dr. Laura Anderson, and Brian Peck, LCSW, in collaboration with a growing community of clinicians who are passionate about bringing a trauma-informed approach to religious trauma.
In 2020, we launched the Collaborative Research Group for graduate students and researchers studying religious trauma.
We’ve hosted several informational workshops for religious trauma survivors including: Religious Trauma and the Nervous System, Religious Trauma and Race, Religious Trauma and COVID19, and a 10-part series on Religious Trauma and Politics available for free on our online course platform.
We’re excited to offer mental health professionals a series of clinical trainings, consultation groups, assessment tools, treatment resources, and a supportive professional community.
We’ll be releasing an expanded version of our website soon with additional resources for religious trauma survivors, mental health professionals, researchers, and advocates.
