UU Trauma Response Ministry

When people or forces of nature bring violence into our lives, as happened on September 11, 2001, or at the 1999 shootings at the Columbine High School or during Hurricane Isabel, individuals and communities may feel isolated and fearful. There are well-established methods of responding to trauma that provide good coping skills and prevent later emotional difficulties. One such method is found in the availability of compassionate individuals to accompany those traumatized as they are threatened by a loss of hope and meaning.

The Unitarian Universalist Trauma Response Ministry (UUTRM) provides multi-faith and culturally sensitive spiritual care to survivors of mass disasters and other significant trauma.
