Our Certificate in Trauma and Spiritual Care (CTSC) is an opportunity for professional care providers to explore their relationship with and experience of trauma in their lives and work. Utilizing an action-reflection learning process, participants will reflect theologically and critically on the individual and systemic effects and manifestations of trauma, as well as resiliency in the face of trauma. Each course builds upon the last, establishing first a theoretical understanding of trauma, both personal and collective, before diving into different theological approaches to suffering and ways of providing trauma-informed care and encouraging resiliency. Participants will eng年龄 in small-group reflection, 养成关怀的习惯, apply concepts in acts of service, and envision ways to bring aspects of Caring Activism into their work.
At the heart of our understanding of Caring Activism is a desire to care for others. 在这个 world poised for 疗愈, we at the Shaw Chaplaincy Institute promote the use of direct caring action to bring about 精神上的, 物理, and social changes that foster health, 疗愈, 和弹性.
The certificate is comprised of four courses: 创伤动力学, Collective Trauma and Collective Memory, 神, 痛苦, 及教牧关怀, and Trauma Care Resiliency.
Each course takes place over one intensive weekend per quarter, with preparatory reading and one online follow up.
在本课程中, we will explore the basic dynamics of trauma from a variety of perspectives: sociological, 心理, 精神病学, 神经科学, 关系, theological and 精神上的. Additional topics include: the great variety and demographics of trauma, and the emerging field of traumatology, along with the 精神上的 and moral dimensions to trauma and the traumatized person, including the emerging concept of “moral injury.”

This course explores the dynamics of trauma as a set of social patterns and relationships constructed through conditions that legitimate hostile imaginations, 感情, 和行动. Using race as the central category for systemic issues that exacerbate collective trauma and collective memories of trauma, this course will examine socially traumatic events, and social constructs that lead to collective memories of collective traumas. From the pastoral care, 精神上的, and 心理 fields it will identify the epidemiology of collective trauma and uncover roots of racial, 性别, and class social injustices, such that social realities that create and reinforce collective trauma may be identified and eliminated.

This course deals with issues of theodicy—how we make sense of evil in a world that is supposed to be under the care of a good 神—while providing pastoral care in relation to those who are suffering. This course explores the relationship between human suffering and the human spirit.

在本课程中, we apply the principles of transformative learning to foster EQ growth. This approach requires sufficient time for implicit learning to occur, space for self-reflection and questioning one’s own assumptions, and an environment which supports, confronts and clarifies. 在这个课堂上, students will learn critical care competencies for trauma care-giving including self-awareness, self-man年龄ment and impulse control, empathy and the ability to attune to others, 灵活性, 创造力, decision-making and problem-solving, and the ability to eng年龄 and inspire others.
