REAL people REAL Stories: When Trauma Strikes

Join us as we begin a new series this month entitled “Real People, Real Stories.” This week’s episode is the real story of Dawn Parker, who, at 11 years old suddenly lost her dad in a shooting. Sadly, that wasn’t the end of the trauma and loss she experienced, either. Dawn and church leader, Consuela Parsons, have an honest conversation about where God was in the middle of this tragedy, what Dawn did as she started experiencing panic attacks, and how she fights for inner peace even today. Where was God? Why did He allow this to happen? What are things the church often says that hurt people more than helps them? Join Director of Care to Change, April Bordeau and our two special guests for this intimate and very authentic, not so fun, conversation. We know you’ll take away practical strategies for dealing some of life’s most difficult challenges.  Recommended Resources:Anxious for Nothing BookSpiritual Practices for the Brain Book Aaron Brockett’s Sermon Therapy Other Helpful Podcasts: How to Manage Panic and AnxietyUnderstanding Fear and Anxiety Overcoming AnxietyThe Journey Church Trauma MessageHealing From TraumaHelpful Links:Schedule an appointment at Care to Change Text us your thoughts or questions at our Care Line: 317-979-7133 For more information about Care to Change visit  www.caretochange.org Follow Care to Change on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/CaretoChange.org/ Follow Care to Change on Instagram or Twitter @care_to_changeIf you would like someone to come speak to your group about this topic, contact us for more details. If you are struggling and ready to take a step toward freedom, schedule an appt today.
