Healing the Broken Places: For Christian Women Healing From Domestic Abuse, written by Kate Johnson, will help you find healing and wholeness in Christ while considering issues such as is it Biblical to separate and seek safety, the effects of abuse, forgiveness, grieving and much more. There are 12 chapters which can be used by individuals or in a group setting.
The following are helpful resources for you to use.
The Church Policy is a sample policy and procedures manual that we encourage your church to use to begin a domestic abuse ministry or to state the church's position on abuse against anyone.
The Personalized Safety Plans include safety plans for all ages. If using them, include as much concrete information as possible in order to prepare for as many circumstances as possible.
The Disclosure Flow Chart is from the Methodist Church and is helpful for knowing how to handle domestic abuse calls when they come into your church/ministry office. You are welcome to use any of these, but please be sure to cite the source and give proper acknowledgement.
Should you have any questions regarding the use of any of these, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@ccada.org.
