Who should attend this workshop? Pastors, disaster responders, social workers, chaplains, elders, deacons, case managers, teachers, medical professionals…in short anyone helping survivors of the tornadoes and the tragic shooting of the summer of 2019. In this workshop participants will be able to 1) examine what makes emotional and spiritual care (ESC) particularly challenging in community-wide disasters, particularly complex disaster scenarios such as Dayton, 2) become familiar with some common best practices in community-wide disaster spiritual and emotional care and 3) work with peers in the community to assess and plan for particular next-step practice needs for ESC in the Dayton community.

This workshop will also benefit others who wish to be prepared to help in the case of a community disaster, not only in the Dayton area.
