Help victims of violence and abuse find healing.

Written especially for Christian professionals and pastors, this book explains the complexities of violence and care.

Beginning with the neurobiology of trauma, this practical guide outlines three modes of biological reaction and introduces specific ways healing and wholeness can occur. Sim also addresses the importance of self-care and vicarious trauma, including behavioral signs and symptoms. The book also details how community partners and churches can help victims.
