Crisis Response Webinar
Responding to reports and allegations of abuse can be both an urgent and complex crisis for ministry leaders. Whether you are responding to an internal allegation or reporting abuse from outside your ministry, what you do next can have lasting effects on victims, employees & volunteers, on your congregation, as well as your own career and witness before a watching world. How to manage crisis response for churches and Christ-centered ministries is something worth considering beforehand. How and when should you report? How do you care for individuals impacted by abuse? How should you form and lead a crisis response team and who should that include? When and how should we notify parents, members, our congregation or other stakeholders? When do we need an attorney and how can my insurance company assist? This workshop is for any ministry leader including administrators, pastors, directors, board members, and trustees.
