You care deeply — and it’s heavy.
What if your care didn’t have to cost you everything?

TraumaWise Ministry Conversations

A gentle, trauma-wise week of recorded sessions + one live community conversation—designed for ministry leaders and care-bearers who want tools, clarity, and sustainable support (not performance).

FREE Access: Mon May 18 → Fri May 22, 2026

Live Panel + Q&A: Tue May 19 • 2–3pm PDT / 5–6pm EDT

Go at your pace: Watch in any order. Pause when you need to. Come as you are.

Start with one session. One next step at a time.

This is Not a Summit. It's a Conversation Container.

We planned a larger event...then real life happened.

Rather than forcing a container that no longer fits, we’re choosing depth over volume.

This is a smaller gathering by design:

  • shame-free, grounded, practical (“help, not hype”)
  • consent-and-choice centered (no forced disclosure)
  • built for nervous systems that are already carrying a lot

Who It's For

You’ll feel at home here if you are:

  • a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, chaplain, or care team member
  • a survivor or cycle-breaker seeking safer faith spaces
  • someone carrying grief, conflict, or secondary trauma in ministry systems
  • tired of “stay positive” spirituality and ready for honest, trauma-wise care

Step 1

Watch the three recorded presentations anytime May 18–22

(All recordings available starting that  Monday.)

Step 2

Join us live on Tuesday, May 19 (optional)

A guided panel conversation + Q&A: 2–3pm PDT / 5–6pm EDT

Step 3

Integrate through Friday (May 22)

Rewatch, reflect, and take one small step—without rushing.

How It Works

We're keeping it simple and streamlined!

Our Speakers

Aminah Vargas Harris, MSSA, LSW

The Nervous System of the Church: Strengthening what’s working. Aligning what’s not.

Every church has a “nervous system”—leadership tone, team dynamics, and culture cues shape what people actually experience when they walk in hurting.

You’ll receive practical reflection prompts to explore with your team—small shifts that create big changes in felt experience.

Cerise Woodard, RN, SANE-A

When Faith Fogs Reality:
How Religious Ideals Can Mask Abuse & Manipulation

Learn how spiritualized messaging can create confusion, delay recognition of harm, and distort safety—and how to respond with trauma-wise clarity.

You’ll practice simple, practical steps: Pause and notice (confusion/pressure/difficulty naming), prioritize safety first (“Is this person safe?”) and create space for honest conversations

Renae M. Dupuis, M.Div

From Caregiver to Culture-Setter:
Moving ministry from crisis response to sustainable shared care

Ministry often becomes dependent on a few exhausted people.

This session offers a TraumaWise roadmap for shifting from heroic caregiving to culture-setting leadership—where felt-safety, connection, and co-regulation are embedded in how your community functions, not just how it responds.

Our pillars

The TraumaWise Foundation

TraumaWise helps caregivers and community leaders cultivate capacity (nervous-system + relational)—not just competency—through:

Felt-Safety

Safety that is experienced: dignity, predictability, and  choice

Connection

Attunement, belonging, repair, and shared language

Co-Regulation

Practiced steadiness, micro-tools, and boundaries that regulate
