014 What is a Trauma-Informed Church (with Fred Liggin)

In families, friendships, and at church, we are surrounded by people who have experienced and live with trauma.  Pastor and reconciliation activist Fred Liggin talks about what it means to be a trauma-informed church.

Fred Liggin is a pastor and social entrepreneur ministering among the homeless and those struggling with poverty Williamsburg, VA, and is a justice and reconciliation advocate.  Trauma recovery is not a theory or an individual practice for Fred.  It is a holistic and communal activity.
