Trauma may disrupt the nervous system, identity, affect regulation, and relationship schemas. Traumatic events can also disconnect survivors from the various aspects of themselves as well as their community. Liberation psychology and theology can awaken conceptualizations and frameworks that center reclamation as a form of holistic healing and empowerment for child trauma survivors. While much of the individually-centered trauma literature focuses on skills-based psycho-education and cognitive-behavioral coping strategies, there has traditionally been less, although growing, attention paid to the diverse culturally-grounded, socio-political pathways for survivors to reclaim themselves. This presentation explores pathways that can benefit the trauma recovery process of children, especially for marginalized survivors. The trauma and healing-informed liberation pathways which emerge from the literature are culture as medicine, community support, spirituality and religiosity, expressive arts, and resistance. A more inclusive view of trauma and trauma recovery can both heal and empower individuals and society as a whole. false

Drawing on national research, I will highlight how parents' own religious upbringings, parenting styles, and relationships with congregational life shape their efforts to pass on faith to their children. We’ll examine how factors like emotional warmth, consistent engagement, and clear expectations—hallmarks of an authoritative parenting style—can enhance religious transmission. I’ll also discuss the practical and cultural reasons parents choose their congregations, what they hope those communities will provide (e.g., education, enjoyment, tradition), and how congregations can serve as trusted partners. The session aims to equip faith communities with insights to more intentionally and effectively support the spiritual formation of young children through the caregivers who guide them. false
