Time: 9:30 - 11:00 AM CST
Presented by: Janice Harris Lord, LCSW, LPC (Retired)
Description: While some clients with trauma find their faith strengthening, others may find it oppressive. Many victim services professionals are city/state employees or licensed clinicians with legal and ethical boundaries around their practices. This webinar will present tools to address spirituality within those boundaries, and will also include basic information about a few of the religious minorities that can be found practicing their faiths within the state of Texas.
