Feeling the Strain of Community Development Work? You’re Not Alone.
The weight of caring for others, especially in the face of injustice, exhaustion, cultural, and political tension, can take a toll on even the most resilient leaders. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, weary, or worn thin by the demands of your calling, this preconference is for you.
Join us for a 90-minute guided experience designed specifically for community development professionals and ministry leaders.
Led by Rev. Dr. Alvin Sanders, President & CEO of World Impact, along with leaders from World Impact’s Trauma Healing program, this session offers a restorative space to pause, reflect, and find renewal.
What You’ll Gain:
· Part 1: Understanding the Caregiver’s Heart
· Part 2: Recognizing Overload and Secondary Trauma
· Part 3: Naming the Struggles of the Caregiver’s Journey
· Part 4: Practicing Sustainable Self-Care
Based on Healing the Wounds of Trauma: How the Church Can Help, this workshop provides faith-rooted, research-informed tools to help you recognize when you’re carrying too much—and what to do about it.
Come as you are.
Leave with tools to sustain your soul, strengthen your leadership, and serve from a place of wholeness because God sees you. God cares for you. And you were never meant to carry it all alone.
